About Lea Greenberg
I am a commissioning editor with Amsterdam University Press and the editorial associate of the Lise Meitner Group at the Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History in Rome. I hold a PhD from the Carolina-Duke Graduate Program in German Studies. My research focused on German Jewish and Yiddish literature and culture, and in my editorial work, I am interested in working on book projects across the humanities and social sciences, particularly in literature, religious studies, cultural studies, Eastern European history, critical gender studies, linguistics, and ecocriticism.NBN Episodes hosted by Lea:
