Sigrid G. Köhler is Professor of Modern German Literature at the University of Tübingen, holding the NDL Professorship for the 18th and 19th centuries within the Philosophische Fakultät. Her research and teaching focus on German-language literature from the 18th and 19th centuries with excursions into the 20th century and contemporary literature. Her research spans multiple interconnected fields including law and literature, postcolonial studies, critical race and gender studies, mediality and aesthetics/genre theory (especially dramatic poetics), memory and culture of remembrance, and literature and globality. She takes a strong global perspective in examining literary canons, exploring texts through lenses of gender, class, dis/ability, decoloniality, popular culture, and post-migrant studies. Köhler's recent scholarly work demonstrates a particular interest in the intersection of legal frameworks and literary representation, as evidenced by her 2025 monograph 'Homo contractualis' examining the emergence of the modern contract beyond legal contexts. Her publications also address decolonial perspectives on German literature, the representation of global knowledge in 18th century texts, and diversity in contemporary literature. She actively organizes academic events including panels on diversity through dialogicity at the German Studies Conference 2025 and collaborates with colleagues across disciplines to strengthen visibility of postcolonial and diversity-focused research fields. Köhler engages with public discourse through appearances on the Römerberg Talks and ZEIT History Podcast, as well as guest articles in the taz. As part of the 'moment mal ndl' project funded by VolkswagenStiftung, she explores globality and diversity-oriented literary studies, contributing blog posts that examine topics ranging from White Savior tropes in Denis Villeneuve's cinema to global knowledge systems in 18th century German literature. Her academic profile shows strong commitment to decolonial approaches and diversity perspectives within German literary studies.
