Biography

Dr Antje Glück lectures Multimedia Journalism and Communication Studies at Bournemouth University. She teaches on the BA(Hons) and MA courses for Journalism and Digital Media as well as on the MA programmes of Media and Communication and Multimedia Journalism.

She holds a PhD from the University of Leeds and a double MA in Journalism and Arabic Studies from the University of Leipzig in Germany. Her studies led her to spend time abroad in Egypt, Spain, France and North India. Parallel, she was working as a freelance journalist since 1998 for various print, radio and television media in Germany, France, Egypt and India.

Apart from being interested into languages and other cultures she is excited about exploring innovative forms in journalism and digital storytelling (such as data-driven journalism and solutions-oriented journalism) and how teaching and research can integrate concepts around social justice, resilience, sustainability and climate crisis.

Research

Dr Antje Glück shares a wide range of experience in having worked in international research projects around media coverage and media discourses, journalism, and political communication.

She is currently holding two active grants: 1) The DFG/AHRC grant "VOICES" around postindustrial societies in East Germany and North East England and 2) a British Academy Small Grant exploring the life of Weimar Republic investigative German journalist Carl von Ossietzky, who had to courage to stay with the ascendance of an increasingly authoritarian 3rd Reich and the Nazis. Further research projects centred on exploring how solutions journalism can be integrated successfully into UK local newsrooms; and how mainstream news media across Global South and North countries represent terrorism and emotions (University of Leipzig, Free University Berlin).

Part of her research career, Antje was also a member of the International Center for Violence Research in Bielefeld (Germany), engaging in capacity building in Global South countries (e.g., Egypt, El Salvador); and contributed to the cross-national EU project Media, Conflict and Democratization (MeCoDEM) based at the University of Leeds.

Her PhD thesis examined the role of emotions in journalistic work practices and deontology with Indian and UK news TV broadcasters.

Before joining in Bournemouth, she worked at Teesside University.
