Anne Ulrich is a tenured Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Media Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Tübingen. Her academic work bridges media theory, rhetoric, and political communication, with a focus on the spectral metaphor in media discourse. She has held a permanent academic position since 2017 and previously served as a PostDoc researcher in the Collaborative Research Center 923 on 'Threatened Orders' from 2015 to 2017.
Her research interests include media theory, political television, digital imagery, populism, propaganda, and visual rhetoric. She explores how media constructs credibility, threat, and subjectivity, particularly in crisis and conflict contexts. Her work often draws on philosophical concepts from Derrida and Anders to analyze the spectral dimensions of media presence and absence.
The recent articles highlight a consistent focus on television, rhetorical strategies, and digital media, with recurring themes of credibility, distraction, threat communication, and the spectral. She frequently publishes on topics related to ISIS propaganda, political satire (e.g., Last Week Tonight), and the affective dimensions of media. Her publications span from 2012 to 2024, indicating sustained scholarly engagement.
She has received the Dissertation Prize of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Tübingen in 2011. While no major grants are explicitly mentioned, her involvement in the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center 923 indicates prior third-party funding experience. She has supervised student projects, including the blog Zwischenbetrachtung and city history publications, though specific advisees are not listed.
Anne Ulrich is actively involved in academic and public discourse, contributing to edited volumes, journals, and public-facing blogs such as Fernsehmomente. She supervises student research and integrates practical media projects into her teaching, fostering a bridge between theory and practice in media studies.
