About Maria Zywietz

After studying abroad for a year at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, I earned my BA degree from the University of Leipzig and am now enrolled in its MA American Studies program. Upon completion, I intend to get into a PhD program in American literature and culture, preferably at a university abroad in order to broaden my cultural horizon. Since I am particularly interested in popular culture and ethnic American literature, I hope to combine these two interests in future research projects. In terms of my professional career, I would like to work in the field of intercultural exchange.
