Caroline Lusin

Prof. Dr. Caroline Lusin holds the Chair in English Studies II at the University of Mannheim's Faculty of Philosophy. Her research focuses on comparative literature, diaspora studies, and postcolonial cultural identity, with particular attention to literary adaptations, cross-cultural narratives, and modernist aesthetics. She investigates themes such as transnational poetics, identity formation in diasporic communities, and the interplay between food and cultural boundaries in Anglo-Indian life-writing.

Her work spans analyses of contemporary British and Irish fiction, examining post-2000 meta-narratives and existential themes. She also explores narrative techniques in works by authors like Ian McEwan and Virginia Woolf, alongside the influence of Russian literature on modernist fiction. Prof. Lusin’s publications demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, blending literary critique with cultural and historical analysis.

Her office hours are held weekly via Zoom, requiring prior email registration. No specific grants or awards are listed, though her extensive publication record reflects sustained academic engagement.
