Biography
Regine Kroh, originally from Germany, came to the University of Illinois in 2008 after receiving her M.A. from the University of Kansas. Her M.A. thesis investigated the depiction of outsiders in Klaus Mann’s short prose. Her current research focuses on memory, agency and space in the German post-1989 cultural context; she is exploring these ideas in her dissertation project about literature and photography in Germany after 1989. In addition, Regine is interested in the function of “1989” in Germany’s discourse about national identity, in exile literature 1933-1945, and in representations of the Holocaust.
Regine has taught in the basic language program at Illinois, was a teaching assistant for advanced composition courses, and developed two of her own classes while working at the Ernst Moritz Arndt Universität Greifswald in 2010-2011.
