Jacqueline is a German national and doctoral candidate at the English department of the University of Florida. In her dissertation, she analyzes how Modernist writers use the con artist in German and American novels, arguing that they are both a representation of the artist in modern society as well as a figure that turns the novel into a confidence game. Outside of literature, Jacqueline enjoys travelling, chess, theme parks, and video games.
Jacqueline received a Master’s degree in English from Clark University (Worcester, MA) and in British, American, and Postcolonial Studies from WWU Münster (Germany). She completed her Bachelor’s degree in English and Math at Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, where she was also able to travel to Oxford for a summer school program as well as study at Newcastle University, England, funded by Europe’s ERASMUS program.
Prior to joining the CES, Jacqueline has worked for UF’s Center for Children’s Literature and Culture and has taught courses on American and World literatures. She is the current Chair of International Affairs for Graduate Assistants United (GAU).
