Visit of Jarred Johnson
Jarred Johnson is a writer and educator from Kentucky in the United States. He graduated in spring 2024 from the University of North Carolina Wilmington with a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and previously worked for three years at the German Center for Research and Innovation New York City. He is visiting the Department of American Studies at UDE under Prof. Florian Freitag's tutelage after receiving a short-term research grant from the DAAD. He will spend fall 2024 researching memory and history in post-industrial areas, comparing the Ruhr region of Germany to the Appalachian region of the United States. He is at work on a novel that explores the future of former coal mining regions. Jarred will use the UDE as a base for his work and research in the Ruhr region and will collaborate with Prof. Barbara Buchenau's and Prof. Florian Freitag's BA Seminar "Sustainable Urbanities."
Join us in welcoming Jarred Johnson and supporting his research during his visit. Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to engage with his work.
