Profile
Naomi Holzapfel Tucker joined the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics as a German instructor in 2022. She currently teaches German language courses.
After receiving her B.A. in English Literature and German Studies from Concordia University (2017), she went on to pursue a Masters of Journalism at the University of British Columbia (2019) as well as an M.A. in Germanic Studies at the University of Chicago (2022).
From this merging of disciplines stems her interest in the relationship between print culture and the sociopolitical sphere. During her graduate studies, she examined – through a literary and philosophical lens – journalism’s contribution to “othering” as an assessment of journalistic ethics. Her interests also include romantic nationalism, the ideas and ideologies that shaped German culture/society, practices of modern myth-making, folklore and Märchen, the edifying function of literature, and the works of Goethe and Thomas Mann.
