Tijana Ristic Kern is a PhD student and a Research Associate at the Department of English and American Studies at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. She completed an MA degree in English Language and Literature at the University of Belgrade and an MA in English Literatures at HU Berlin. Her thesis Writing the Queer Self: Life-Writing Between Modernism and Postmodernism looks at the interactions of queer life writing, fiction, and theoretical writing in the 20th century.
She received funding from the international program of the European University Alliance Circle U. for a research-focused course “Life Writing as a Democratizing Practice: Hybrid Feminist and Queer Writing 1960-1990” (2022) and for an international interdisciplinary ECR workshop “Artistic Practices as Political or Activist Interventions” (2023). She teaches courses in cultural studies, feminist and queer theories, postmodernist writing, modernist writing, and hybrid life writing as an activist genre.
She is part of the Polish-German Weave LAP project Queer Theory in Transit: Reception, Translation, and Production of Queer Theory in Polish and German Contexts (QUEERIT), funded by DFG and NCN (2023-2026), as well as a member of an international research group on Queer Theory and Literary Studies. She is co-editor of Reading Literature and Theory at the Intersections of Queer and Class: Class Notes and Queer-ies, a volume published by the research group Queer Theory and Literary Studies with Routledge in 2024 (available in Open Access).
