Natascha Rempel

Dr. Natascha Rempel is a researcher at the Department of Romance Languages under the Faculty of Philosophy at Leibniz University Hannover.

She actively contributes to projects like ConnecCaribbean and collaborates on transatlantic theoretical frameworks.

Research interests include war and memory in Spanish-language literature and film, diasporic magazine projects, border experiences, and experimental writing styles. She explores the role of "space" in literary analysis and transatlantic knowledge circulation.
