Office Hours

Tue 9-10am

Alexander Dunst studied German, English, and American Studies in Graz and Vienna and worked as a political journalist before completing a PhD in the Department of Cultural, Media and Visual Studies at the University of Nottingham. In 2021, he received his Habilitation in American Studies and Digital Humanities at Paderborn University after having directed the early-career research group “Hybrid Narrativity” from 2015 to 2020. His research and teaching focus on US-American literary history (19-21c), contemporary visual media, and transatlantic cultural history. He is the author of Madness in Cold War America (Routledge, 2016) and The Rise of the Graphic Novel: Computational Criticism and the Evolution of Literary Value (Cambridge University Press, 2023). Currently, he is working on a monograph titled “After the Graphic Novel,” as well as a book of literary essays on memory culture that draws on the lives of his grandparents during national socialism, and co-editing the volume “Mobilising Medicine: Health and social movements in global perspective, 1950s-2020s” (Manchester UP, 2025).
