I have studied at Stanford University (B.A. in English literature,1969; Ph.D. in German Studies, 1984) and at the Freie Universität Berlin (Masters of Arts in Philosophy, Comparative Literature and American Studies, 1976).
I've been a guest professor at Stanford in California on several occasions and am the author of diverse texts, including The Politics of Discourse: Third Thoughts on New Subjectivity (NY/Bern: NYU Ottendorfer Series, 1994).
I am also a published poet, a cellist of sorts and I dance with horses (dressage - I should have the lead, but in fact they usually do...).
