Michael McGillen is an Assistant Professor of German Studies at Dartmouth College and an Associated Faculty Member in Comparative Literature. His research focuses on the intersection of religion, modernism, and German-Jewish intellectual history, with particular attention to temporalities, historical memory, and spatial representations of time. He holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University and a B.A. from Northwestern University.
McGillen teaches courses on Modernist Literature, German-Jewish Exile Literature, Kafka, Nietzsche, and the Frankfurt School. His book Shapes of Time (Cornell University Press, 2023) examines how key figures like Karl Barth and Franz Rosenzweig reimagined time through geometrical and mathematical frameworks.

His publications span journals like New German Critique and Word & Image, analyzing authors such as Kierkegaard, Auerbach, Sebald, and Beckett. McGillen’s work bridges literary analysis, philosophy, and religious studies, offering innovative perspectives on modernism’s spatial and mathematical turns.
