Dr. Iga Nowicz

I have developed and implemented the festival's long-term social media strategy. I write original copy to highlight the festival’s focus on feminism and democracy. I work closely with the internal team and our invited speakers, artists and activists to create event-related content. I manage advertising campaigns on Facebook. I am also responsible for contacting the press and for communications with the public.

I designed and taught BA and MA courses in German and English. I supervised and graded essays, exams, presentations and dissertations
. I mentored student teaching assistants.

As a guest lecturer, I taught an introductory seminar on literary studies and gave a series of lectures on South-Slavonic literature. I designed teaching materials and provided secondary literature. I supervised students' essays, monitored their progress and provided feedback. I supported students writing their first essays. I focussed on such aspects as academic language, structure, research methods, presentation, style, referencing and evidence. I designed exam papers and graded them.

As a fully-funded PhD student, I worked on my own research project on "Multilingual practices and transnational alliances: German-language texts of post- Yugoslav migration". In 2018, I was awarded the Women in German Studies Book Prize for my dissertation.
