Department Personnel : Susan Derwin

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.
