A doctoral student in the Department of German, Sarah's research concentrates on the role of "Yidishkeyt" (Yiddish language and culture) in German-language literature of the nineteenth century. Especially interested in the aesthetic distance afforded by Jewish or Jewish-apostate authors writing on Jewish themes, Sarah currently investigates the work of Moses Mendelssohn, Salomon Maimon, Heinrich Heine and Berthold Auerbach. Having received a Berkeley Language Center Instructional Development Fellowship for 2004, she is also developing a culture-based first-year Yiddish language pedagogy for UC Berkeley's Department of German.
