Shivani also co-organised this year\u2019s graduate conference, \u2018Rethinking Resistance\u2019 (see below).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduate Conference Committee 2021-2022<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To co-plan and run the 2021-2022 graduate conference, we also had a Graduate Conference Committee. The four graduate members \u2013 Shivani Chauhan, Cailee Davis, Stephanie Franklin, and Hannah Scheithauer \u2013 co-organised a conference on the theme of \u2018Rethinking Resistance’, held in June 2022 thanks to generous support from the Critical-Thinking Communities Fund, The Queen\u2019s College, Oxford, and the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, Oxford<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cailee\u00a0Davis is currently pursuing her doctoral studies at St. Anne\u2019s College, University of Oxford, examining the shifting modalities of transnational Holocaust representation across mixed media, including film, television, art, photography, and literature, as we move towards a post-witness, post-memory world and the Holocaust becomes removed from living memory. She is especially interested in the phenomenon of metareferentially, the act of self-reflexively drawing attention to th artifice of the work and\/or the medium, within these works. Recently, she completed her MA in Holocaust Studies with Distinction at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her dissertation, \u201cInglourious Basterds: Rewriting American History,\u201d explored the Americanization of the Holocaust as a screen memory which replaces and misrepresents America\u2019s own genocidal past. She has also worked as a volunteer and blogger for both the Wiener Library, London, and the US National World War II Museum, New Orleans.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephanie Franklin is a doctoral student in Music, based at Christ Church. Her research investigates Jewish women writers\u2019 engagement with musical culture in interwar Austria and Germany. Her work is supervised by Prof. Laura Tunbridge and Dr. Joanna Bullivant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah\u00a0Scheithauer\u00a0obtained a BA in French and German (2016-2020) and an MSt in Comparative Literature and Critical Translation (2020-2021) from Jesus College, University of Oxford, and took courses at Georg-August-Universit\u00e4t G\u00f6ttingen (2015-2016) and \u00c9cole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure Paris (2018-2019). She has now returned to Oxford to pursue a Clarendon-funded comparative DPhil project at The Queen\u2019s College, exploring transnational memories in contemporary French and German literature. Alongside her own studies, she teaches modern German literature as a Stipendiary Lecturer at Jesus College.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
