Osnabrück Summer Institute on the Cultural Study of the Law

We would also like to also introduce Laura A. Zander as a member of the OSI 2024 faculty! Laura is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Osnabrück University and was part of the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB 1385) “Law and Literature” at the University of Muenster (WWU), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), where her research focused on Literature as Equity in British Cultural History most specifically on legal fictions and the works of Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell and the Brontës. Her current research at the University of Osnabrück on Subjects on the Move in Literature and Human Rights is closely connected to this year’s OSI and in collaboration with the law school at the WWU Muenster. Laura will convene the workshop on interdisciplinarity along with Leila Neti and Peter Schneck.

Laura holds an M.A. in English Literature and Linguistics and both state examinations in Law after completing her postgraduate judicial service traineeship. After receiving her PhD by the faculty of language and literatures at the University of Munich (LMU) she worked as a lecturer in the English Department.
