Beverly Weber
Beverly Weber is associate professor of German and Jewish studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her research and teaching interests include the intersections of race, gender and migration in Germany and Europe; comparative studies of racialization; digital activism; contemporary visual cultures; contemporary German literature and culture; and Islam in Europe. She has published widely on the intersections of race and gender in contemporary German culture, and on contemporary refugee migration. Her first book, Violence and Gender in the ‘New’ Europe: Islam in German Culture (Palgrave, 2013), examines how current thinking about Islam and gender violence prohibits the intellectual inquiry necessary to act against a range of forms of violence. In addition to the co-written project with Maria Stehle, she is working on another monograph entitled Decolonizing Hospitality, which explores the entanglements of racialized histories and European discourses of rights in relationship to contemporary refugee migration.
