Sarah Thiery serves as a Research Fellow in Modern German Literature at the University of Trier's Department of German Studies, where she has worked since June 2018 under Prof. Dr. Franziska Schößler. She coordinates the binational Master's program 'Theatre Studies and Interculturality' with the University of Luxembourg and previously represented doctoral students for Department II (2023-2025).
Her academic journey includes a Bachelor and Master of Education in German and Romance Studies (2009-2017) at the University of Trier and Université Paris 10 Nanterre, followed by a binational doctoral project (Cotutelle) at the University of Trier and Université Aix-Marseille. Her dissertation examines nature writing in contemporary poetry, titled 'On nature writing in contemporary poetry // La poésie allerande à l'heure de la crise écologique'.
Thiery's research centers on contemporary poetry—particularly Instapoetry and ecological themes—with significant contributions to ecocriticism, literary didactics, and 19th-20th century German literature. Her work frequently explores intersections between literature and economics, gender studies, and German-French cultural transfer, as evidenced by analyses of Heinrich Mann's inflation-era novellas and Adelbert von Chamisso's ideological appropriations. Recent publications reveal a strong focus on climate crisis narratives in children's literature and digital poetry's pedagogical applications.
Her scholarly impact is highlighted by the 2024 University of Trier Teaching Award for her seminar 'Contemporary Poetry,' alongside active participation in international conferences like the Heinrich Mann Annual Meeting and interdisciplinary workshops on posthuman entanglements in Technocene poetry.
Thiery contributes to academic service through editorial roles including co-editing 'Third Mission (im-)possible?!' (2022) and serving on the review team for children's literature at kinderundjugendmedien.de since 2022. She regularly conducts teacher training workshops on creative writing in digital spaces and moderates discussions on German-French literary perspectives, such as the 'Un soleil de plomp ...' climate literature forum.
