Ian Fleishman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cinema & Media Studies with a secondary appointment in the Department of Francophone, Italian, & Germanic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He holds a Ph.D. in French and German Literature from Harvard University. His research interests encompass literary modernism in French and German, film studies, queer studies, and environmental humanities.
