Kathrin Mira Amelung
Kathrin Mira Amelung is an Investigator in the working group Morphology and History of Forms at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. She is both an expert in Media and Cultural Studies (M.A.) and a Designer (Dipl.) focusing on illustration with several years of work experience.
She graduated in Media Culture with honours at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in 2014. From 2015–2018 she was Research Associate at the Cluster of Excellence »Image Knowledge Gestaltung«, HU Berlin.
Together with John Nyakatura, she is committed to interdisciplinary teaching of the connection between image and knowledge production in interdisciplinary seminars and workshops. Particularly she advocates for the integration of scientific illustrators and designers as equal partners within the scientific research process.
Based on historical and etymological research on the concept of illustration as well as on the basis of her practical experience in the working group, she is currently writing her PhD thesis. The thesis deals with the establishment of a new concept of ›illustration‹ as a media concept and seeks to make it fruitful for theory as well as for current research practices.
