Dr Lizzie Stewart is Lecturer in Modern Languages, Culture and Society; cross-appointed to the Departments of German, French and SPLAS. Having studied Modern Languages (German and Russian) at the University of Edinburgh, Lizzie did an AHRC-funded MSc. in European Theatre and PhD in German at the same institution. Her research explores cultures of migration, with a dual focus on theatre, and the relationship between labour migration and cultural production. Her first monograph, \u2018Staging New German Realities: Turkish-German Scripts of Postmigration\u2019 (forthcoming with Palgrave Macmillan), brings a theatre and performance studies perspective into the scholarly discourse on Turkish-German culture and the after-effects of labour migration. It unpacks the complex relationship between the behavioural \u2018scripts\u2019 society prescribes for its minority subjects, the literal scripts produced by those subjects, and the creation of new concepts of identity and performance practice which arise from the realisation of these scripts in performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broadly, Lizzie is interested in post\/migration and performance, including the ways in which institutional structures, funding, and policy affect both the aesthetics and practice of theatrical work produced in the German and EU context. Before coming to King\u2019s as a Lecturer in 2017, she held positions at University of Edinburgh, University of St Andrews, and University of Cambridge. Working between Modern Languages and Theatre\/Performance Studies, she is also interested in strengthening links between Germanophone and Anglophone academic, educational, and practitioner discourses around migration and theatre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
