About Me
Hi!
My name is Julia Neugarten. I am currently conducting my PhD research at the Radboud University, Nijmegen in the project Anchoring Innovation. My dissertation has the preliminary title Gods, Heroes, Myths: Anchoring and Innovating Classical Motifs in Fanfiction.
I am 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 a member of the editorial board of the Digital Humanities Benelux Journal.
In my free time, I enjoy creative writing, cooking and baking, boardgames and spinning.
Research Interest
My research centers around the analysis of fanfiction and a variety of other fan practices. I am also interested in the ways that methods from the digital humanities, particularly computational literary studies, can be applied to the study of fanfiction, fandom, and fan communities.
