Collaboration between students and academics is at the heart of the White Rose Project. We are delighted to announce that this academic year (2021-2022) we have a new graduate committee. Our four committee members will be co-organising this year’s events and helping to supervise undergraduates’ work on the Project. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Shivani Chauhan is pursuing a D.Phil. in German literature at the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages. Before coming to Oxford, she studied German language and literature at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and also attended the University of Education, Weingarten, the University of Wuppertal, and the University of Freiburg as a guest scholar in Germany.

Ombline Damy\u00a0is a former student at Oxford. Having done a B.A. in Philosophy and Modern Languages (German) at St Hilda\u2019s college and an M.St. in Modern Languages (French and German) with a specific focus on Comparative Literature at Hertford college,\u00a0Ombline\u2019s academic interests lie in the working of individual and cultural memory, and in their expressions in literature and culture.

Tim Powell is reading for the MSt in German at St John’s College, Oxford. His research interests lie principally in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German literature and culture. He was one of the White Rose Project’s first-generation translators in 2018-19, working to collaboratively translate the second pamphlet. He also worked on collaboratively translating a letter from Sophie Scholl to her fianc\u00e9 Fritz Hartnagel as part of the 2020-21 White Rose Translation Project. He aims to use this experience to contribute to the continued success of the project in his role as a member of the White Rose Graduate Committee this year.<\/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 the 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<\/strong><\/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.<\/strong><\/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.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
