Jules Kielmann studied comparative literature with a focus in Scandinavian and German literature at Albert-Ludwig-University Freiburg, Germany. In 2023, she received her PhD in literature from Uppsala University. The dissertation Intersections: Gender, Nation and Authorship in the Work of Amalie von Helvig will be published at Universitätsverlag Winter, Heidelberg later this year. From September 2024, Jules will continue her research at the Institute of German Literature at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Germany.
Within the project, Jules focuses on literary imageries of “ideal” and “failed” motherhood (neglected motherhood, motherhood and alcohol abuse).
