Introductory Note: Me, Myself and I

Dear Global Media Narrators,

welcome to our Comparative Literature/English/Anthropology Spring 2011 lecture course, "Global Media Narratives in the Digital Age"!

Please allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Annemarie Fischer, and I am currently serving as a Doctoral Candiate (ABD) in Comparative Literature at Binghamton University, State University of New York.

My research focus includes Global Communications/Media Studies, Popular Culture, Visual Culture and Sound Studies, as well as Transnational Writing and Narratology.

I obtained a Master of Arts in Political Science from Binghamton University and a Magistra atrium in German Studies, Journalism and Eastern European Sciences from Leipzig University in Germany, as well as a postgraduate degree in German as a Foreign Language from the Herder Institute at Leipzig University. At the Lomonosov Moscow State University, I studied Journalism as well as Russian Literature and Philology.

At the United Nations Headquarters in New York, I performed an internship at the Department of Public Information (DPI). I am also working as a freelance journalist and photographer.

I am fluent in English, French and Russian, apart from my mother tongue being German.
