Susan Derwin works in the fields of Holocaust studies
and nineteenth- and twentieth-century narrative, with an emphasis
on memoir, testimony, psychoanalytic theory, and the American and European novel. She is an affiliate of the Comparative Literature Program. She has written a psychoanalytic
study of the realist novel, The Ambivalence of Form: Lukács,
Freud, and the Novel, and is currently working on a book about representations
of the holocaust in film, literature, and museums.
Her recent and upcoming graduate teaching includes courses on psychoanalytic
theory, theories of pedagogy, childrearing, and the representation of
children in German culture of the last three centuries, the literature
of atrocity, post-Holocaust German fiction and drama, and the memoir.
