Tim Lanzendörfer is Heisenberg Fellow for Literary Theory, Literary Studies, and Literary Studies Education. He works on a research project entitled “Reading in the Age of Trump: The Possibilities and Politics of Literary Studies Now” with three central areas of research. First, contemporary literary theory, especially the Anglophone debate on the merits of critique and postcritique; second, contemporary fiction’s manifold investment in the question of reading as a practice and theory; third, the publicexpansion of the work of literary studies to include greater publics and a more diverse audience.
He obtained his PhD and postdoctoral degrees at the University of Mainz (2012; 2019) and worked at Mainz, the University of California Davis, and Freie Universität Berlin as assistant professor, visiting assistant professor, and visiting associate professor.
