At the Department of German Studies at the University of Arizona, they are currently developing research questions surrounding representations and Leftists understandings of the Red Army Faction with support from Professor Ilse Nagelschmidt at Universität Leipzig.

In addition to first and second year German language courses.
Yannleon’s research interests include Critical Theory, the New Frankfurt School, and dialectics of aesthetics and power, literary and film representations and cultural memory of German leftism and terrorism, and intercultural German didactics.
