Natalie Lozinski-Veach is Assistant Professor of German and Comparative Cultural Studies at Arizona State University, where she also an affiliated faculty member in the Center for Jewish Studies and a Senior Sustainability Scholar in the College of Global Futures. She holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Brown University and works in three languages (English, German, and Polish). In her research, Dr. Lozinski-Veach asks how art and philosophy can help us live more ethical lives, not only in relation to other humans, but also with regard to other animals and the environment. She has published on the poets Paul Celan and Esther Kinsky, the writers W. G. Sebald and Bruno Schulz, as well as on the philosophers Walter Benjamin, Jacques Derrida, and Theodor W. Adorno. Currently, she is working on a book called Creaturely Expressions: Animals, Language, and Poetry after Auschwitz, in which she traces how philosophers and poets reimagine language beyond the human in response to the Shoah.
