Ninja Steinbach-Hüther earned a PhD in Global studies from Leipzig University and the École normale supérieure, Paris, with a study on the “Circulation of African knowledge. Presence and reception of African academic literature in France and Germany”. Before, she studied French culture studies and Intercultural communication, English literature (Transcultural anglophone studies) and German as a foreign language at the University of the Saarland, Saarbrücken, as well as European studies during a semester abroad at Cardiff University, Wales. For several years, she worked as a research assistant, then as the project coordinator of a German-Greek bilateral research project at the Global and European Studies Institute at Leipzig University. Her academic interests include the circulation of knowledge in a globalizing world, cultural transfers, the theoretical and methodological approaches for the investigation of spatial formats and spatial orders and the actors within these processes. She particularly interested in Digital Humanities-driven approaches combined with conventional research perspectives to these topics and their applicability in an interdisciplinary research environment.
