About Me
Hi!
My name is Julia Neugarten. I am currently conducting my PhD research at Radboud University, Nijmegen in the project Anchoring Innovation. My dissertation is titled Anchoring and Innovating Greek Myth in Fanfiction.
I am one of the Faces of Science of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences, a member of the Netherlands Research School for Literary Studies and an associated member of OIKOS, the Dutch National Research School in Classical Studies. I am also part of the editorial board of the Digital Humanities Benelux Journal.
In my free time, I enjoy creative writing, cooking, swimming, and pottery.
Research Interest
My research centers around the analysis of fanfiction and fan culture. I am also interested in the ways that methods from the digital humanities, particularly computational literary studies, can be applied to the study of (fan)fiction.
