Dr. Zeno Ackermann (research fellow on the project from 2008 to 2012)
In his Ph.D. thesis, Zeno Ackermann investigated ideological and poetological discourses in antebellum American literature. He has published extensively on the remembrance of the National Socialist past and the Holocaust in Germany, a field in which he has also worked as an educator outside academia. Apart from his research on the reception and figuration of Shylock, Zeno Ackermann is completing a monograph dealing with the impact of a mediatized 'memory culture' on the post-war British novel. Since March 2012, Zeno Ackermann has been based at Goethe University Frankfurt/Main.

Kathrin Bartha (student assistant)
Kathrin Bartha studies English at the FU Berlin. Her interest in the reception of Shakespeare's problematic character was triggered through a seminar paper that she wrote on Philip Roth's novel Operation Shylock. In her Bachelor thesis with the title "'Divided Heaven': On Thomas Langhoff's staging of The Merchant of Venice as touchstone for East Germany's dealing with the Holocaust" she investigated an eminent production from the GDR.
