معرفی
Dr. Jacqueline Gutjahr is a Senior Lecturer and Scientific Staff Member at the Department of Intercultural German Studies, University of Göttingen, where she has coordinated the certificate program Additional Qualification in Interculturality and Multilingualism/German as a Foreign and Second Language (ZIMD) since 2014. Her role encompasses teaching, research supervision, and academic advising within the university's framework for intercultural education.
Her academic foundation includes studies in German Studies, French Philology, and German as a Foreign Language across the Universities of Bonn, Trier, and Lyon, culminating in her PhD (Dr. phil.) from Göttingen in November 2023. Prior professional experience spans DAAD lecturing positions at Tongji University (Shanghai, 2003-2007) and the University of Trier (2001-2003), alongside teacher training roles in Düsseldorf and international summer programs.
Gutjahr's research interrogates the intersections of language, space, and power, with core focuses on literary multilingualism (particularly in contemporary Austrian works by Maja Haderlap), spatial theory in literature, intercultural film analysis, and critical language policy. She examines how linguistic ideologies shape educational practices and advocates for reflexive multilingual pedagogy in teacher training, emphasizing the dismantling of monolingual biases through classroom-based research.
Her publication trajectory (2011-2025) reveals a sustained engagement with spatial metaphors in literature, evolving toward applied educational frameworks for multilingual competence development. Collaborative works with Prof. Andrea Bogner dominate her output, especially in teacher education contexts, while solo publications delve into poetic representations of linguistic borders and identity.
As coordinator of the ZIMD program, Gutjahr mentors students in intercultural certification tracks and leads research projects including Umbrüche gestalten (language education in teacher training) and mediensprachen :: zwischenräume. She actively contributes to the Centre for Global Migration Studies (CeMig) and co-leads the German-Indian Perspectives on Multilingualism network (GIP), connecting Göttingen with Mumbai and Pune institutions.
Her scholarly ecosystem centers on the Chair of Interculturality and Multilingualism under Prof. Bogner, with cross-institutional collaborations spanning the German-Indian GIP network and European migration studies consortia. Current work prioritizes translating spatial-multilingual theory into practical teacher training modules for German as a Foreign Language educators.
