About me

Anna Auguscik teaches English Literature at the University of Oldenburg, where she received her PhD with a thesis on the role of literary prizes and book reviewing for the literary marketplace, "Prizing Debate in Literary Interaction: The Fourth Decade of the Booker Prize and the Contemporary Novel in the UK." As a Fiction Meets Science research fellow in the project group “Reception: Readers and Media,” she is working on the critical and public reception of contemporary science novels.

Her research interests include the novel in the literary marketplace, the history and current state of reviewing and criticism, and the relationship between literature and science.

Current

  • I am wrapping up research for the Fiction Meets Science project on the role of fiction in multi-disciplinary science journals.
  • I have recently received funding to start a new project on expedition narratives (FMS II, VolkswagenStiftung).
