Dr Ina Linge is Senior Lecturer in German in the Department of Languages, Cultures and Visual Studies at the University of Exeter, UK. Her research in queer German studies, environmental humanities, and medical humanities investigates early twentieth-century sexual knowledge production as a collaborative endeavour between the arts and medical and natural sciences. Publications include the monograph Queer Livability: German Sexual Sciences and Life Writing (Michigan University Press, 2023), which explores the importance of queer and trans life writing for sexual knowledge production in early-twentieth-century Germany. Her recent work has explored the role of the non-human in sexual knowledge production, see for example an article on the role of butterfly experiments for German gay-rights activism and research in the 1920s (winner of the 2020 Women in German article prize); and a co-edited special issue on ‘Sex and Nature’ for Environmental Humanities.
