About me

Anna Auguscik teaches Anglophone Literature and Culture at the University of Oldenburg, where she received her PhD with a study of the literary marketplace in the early 2000s, Prizing Debate: The Fourth Decade of the Booker Prize and the Contemporary Novel in the UK (transcript/ Columbia UP, 2017). As a Fiction Meets Science research fellow (2014-18; 2018-21), she has worked on the media reception of contemporary science novels, the scientist protagonist, and global dimensions of science in fiction. As a Junior Fellow at the Hanse-WissenschaftsKolleg, she is working on a project on "scientific expedition narratives" in contemporary fiction (2018-22). Together with Dr. Simone Broders from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, she is the initiator of Limits of Knowledge, a research project on the productiveness of ignorance, non-knowledge, and agnotology in Anglophone studies, literature and culture.

Her research focuses on the novel in the literary marketplace and the relationship between literature and science.
