Sarah Busch, M.A.
I am excited to join the Chair of English Literature in autumn 2026 to teach courses in English literary and cultural studies with a focus on queer and feminist topics. I handed in my PhD thesis “Affect, Audiences and Engagement in 21st Century Theatre in Ireland” at the University of Freiburg in spring 2026. It combines literary and cultural studies with performance, affect and audience studies as I investigate how the affective experience shape spectators' reception of contemporary Irish theatre and performance. I hold a teaching degree in English and Spanish Philology and have spent semesters abroad at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and University College Dublin.
In addition, many years of experience as an actor, director and PR councilor for the English Department's drama group in Freiburg have given me the practical know-how to lead workshops about improvisation, body work, and theatre in the classroom.
For my new project I'm interested in sapphic modernism and queering the archive.
