Julia RothHumboldt-Universität zu Berlin
I am studying English and American Studies, Spanish and Political Science at Humboldt University. Currently, I am working on my MA thesis in American literature about Toni Morrison's essays. (My main interest literature-wise lies in feminist criticism, critical theory, postcolonial studies and gender studies.)
In politics, I am focusing on international relations and political theory. Recently, I am furthermore developing a growing fascination in the history and theory of wars and warfare in order to make sense of the current international situation. I spent one semester of my studies in Madrid, Spain and two in London.
Besides studying I am engaged in the Humboldt students' newspaper, joined an international work camp in Harlem, NY, and worked as a freelance journalist, waitress and telephone researcher. I love travelling, spending time with my friends, Flamenco music and dancing (which I practice passionately but unfortunately am a real tyro at…), as well as dancing in general (in clubs or at parties, that is), reading and film.
