Paul Hamann-Rose is lecturer in English Literature. Before joining the English Department at Goethe University Frankfurt in 2020, he has held positions at the University of Siegen and the University of Hamburg. He studied at the University of London Institute in Paris and at the University of Hamburg, where he received his PhD. His two principle areas of research are the interrelations between literature and science, with a special focus on literary representations of genetics, as well as the cultural, legal and poetic manifestations of privacy in British Romanticism. He has recently spent two extended research stays as visiting scholar at Vanderbilt University, USA, working on the NIH-funded transdisciplinary GetPreCiSe project on genetic privacy. He is currently completing a monograph on genetic visions of life in the contemporary novel.
Paul Hamann-Rose is a member of the research network on current perspectives in Romantic studies “Aktuelle Perspektiven der Romantikforschung” at Goethe University Frankfurt.
