Mirjam Gebauer serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Culture and Learning at Aalborg University's Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Denmark. Her academic profile centers on language, culture, and discourse studies with specialized focus on German language education and cultural theory within contemporary societal contexts.

Her research traverses Contemporary Arts and Humanities, Cultural Theory, and Critical Theory, examining lived experience through lenses of monolingualism, rhythm, and cultural politics. Gebauer investigates practical applications of German as supplementary competence in professional settings, cognitive aspects of language learning, and intersections between technology and cultural expression. Current projects explore AI's portrayal in literary works and interdisciplinary approaches to language pedagogy.

Recent publications (2025-2026) reveal concentrated scholarly output in German language education methodologies, artificial intelligence in contemporary literature, and workforce integration of language skills. Her work demonstrates consistent thematic alignment with cultural theory and critical discourse analysis, particularly regarding German language acquisition in Danish contexts and technological impacts on cultural production.

Gebauer leads multiple active research initiatives including "Phraseologismen und Grammatik in Deutsch als Zusatzkompetenz-Kursen" (2024-present) and "Mundtlighed i engelskundervisningen" (2022-present), while previously directing "Tyskelevers og tyskstuderendes kognition og motivation" (2019-2020). Her project portfolio spans interdisciplinary collaborations in cultural politics, media analysis, and language cognition studies.

With extensive academic engagement including conference presentations, editorial work for IUDICIUM Verlag, and consultancy for Lex.dk, Gebauer maintains active scholarly networks across German studies and cultural theory domains.
