After two and a half years as a Buber fellow (and giving birth to the first 'Buber baby'), I moved back to Germany and took a position at the Leibniz Institute of European History in Mainz. After five years, I moved to Hannover with my family (now with two kids), and took on a position at Bielefeld University, where I taught and did research in early modern history and then joined the SFB (Collaborative Research Center) 1288 "Practices of Comparing". In Bielefeld, I am just about to finish my "habilitation" (second book in the rest of the world) on 'Jewish dress' as a marker of difference and a device of creating order in early modern central and east central Europe. In August 2023 I accepted a permanent position as consultant to the management (Referentin der Geschäftsführung) at the Salomon Ludwig Steinheim Institute for German-Jewish History in Essen.
