Annie Janusch serves as a Lecturer in the Creative Writing program at the University of Chicago, specializing in literary translation of German-language works. Her professional profile centers on bridging German literary traditions with English-speaking audiences through meticulous translations of historical, biographical, and fictional texts.
Her research focuses on translational practices across German literary history, with emphasis on 18th-century scientific exploration, classical Romantic narratives, and contemporary crime fiction.
