Biography

Dale Adams completed his education in Germany, obtaining Master's degrees from the University of Heidelberg in 2003 and Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, in 2004. He earned his PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2009 and was awarded a Humanities and Social Sciences Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Melbourne in 2011. Since 2013, he has been teaching and researching within the German Studies Program at the University of Western Australia. His professional roles include serving as the Convenor of the German Studies program. Dale's research focuses on the historical synergies between literature, mathematics, and science, with specific interests in German and European literature from the 18th to the 20th centuries, as well as the history and philosophy of mathematics and science, particularly probability theory. His current research project analyses the reception of mathematical probability in German-language literature since 1800, illuminating the evolution of significant concepts in the history of German literary thought. He teaches various levels within the German Studies program, coordinating and delivering courses that integrate language acquisition with German culture, history, philosophy, and literature.
