Megan Ewing is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, specializing in postwar German and Austrian literature, with a particular focus on environmental humanities. Her work addresses issues related to space, scale, and sensory experiences in twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature and art. Currently, she is engaged in a book project that explores ecological thinking in neo-avantgarde literature and art, examining psychogeographical issues through the lens of the Situationist International. This research considers how multisensory aesthetic models ground political action while paying intimate attention to local affective spaces and exploring contemporary issues of identity and spatiality in the context of climate change, global migration, and the emergent realities of intersectionality. Ewing's interest in aesthetic modes of political activity informs her teaching, designing courses on German ecocriticism, fairy tales, and the intersections of art and revolution within international avantgarde contexts.
