Susanne Vees-Gulani (Ph.D., Comparative Literature, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign), Assistant Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures, joined the Department in 2006. Her research concentrates on 20th and 21st Century German literature and culture, World War II, postwar reconstruction and identity formation, trauma and memory studies, science and literature, and medicine and literature.

In her book Trauma and Guilt: Literature of Wartime Bombing in Germany (de Gruyter 2003), Dr. Vees-Gulani analyzes postwar literary works on large area bombings of German cities both in the context of trauma theory and questions of guilt and shame about Germany's Nazi past. Other recent publications include articles on Dieter Forte, W. G. Sebald, and the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche in Dresden.

Dr. Vees-Gulani teaches in German, World Literature, and SAGES. Courses include “The Holocaust in Literature and Film,” “German Memories of World War II,” and “Trauma and Memory.”
