Video: Professor Katra Byram Talks: Narrative, Memory, Identity, Language, Gender & Spaces

Podcast: Project Narrative Podcast Episode 1: Katra Byram & Jim Phelan — A Conversation about “Hinter uns, mein Land”

 

 

Katra Byram’s research and teaching interests lie in four main areas: German literature and culture (1848-present), narrative theory, culture and history in second language acquisition and teaching. In all of these areas, she seeks to understand how specific historically and culturally marked identities and experiences take shape in particular linguistic, narrative, and artistic forms. She has published a book, Ethics and the Dynamic Observer Narrator: Reckoning with Past and Present in German Literature (Ohio State University Press, 2015), and articles on nineteenth-century German literature, culture and language pedagogy, post-WWII mother memoirs, and tiny houses and the Bildungsroman.
