Supervision
I supervise BA and MA theses at Bremen University and beyond (as an external supervisor/mentor); see the list below.
I am open for topics in German, English and General Linguistics as well as Media Studies from a linguistic and semiotic perspective. My own research is focused on film, tv series, comics, online discourses, and other multimodal documents, but I am also interested in the analysis of verbal texts or their interaction with other semiotic resources. A good starting point for a thesis is an example analytical questions raised with a view on a concrete textual artefact. Please contact me, if you are interested in doing a thesis or paper or have some questions on these topics.
