シュタインハウアー ハーゲン
Welcome to my website!
I am an assistant professor of German Studies at the School of International Liberal Studies at Waseda University in Tokyo.
My research focuses on (linguistic) discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and democracy, authoritarianism, and fascism, as well as migration and memory politics.
I teach a range of seminars covering a wide variety of topics, including youth language, democracy and authoritarianism in Germany, migration history, and an introduction to linguistics.
From 2019 to 2025, I was a member of the interdisciplinary “Research Group Soft Authoritarianisms” at the University of Bremen and wrote my doctoral thesis.
In 2025, my first monograph on soft-authoritarian discursive practices in France under Emmanuel Macron was published. You can download it for free here.
Together with the Bremen group, we organized three international fall and summer schools, most recently in 2024 in collaboration with the Central European University in Budapest. More information is available here.
Prior to that, I worked for a time as a teacher of German as a foreign language, including in São Carlos, Brazil.
In my free time, I enjoy practicing judo and hold a second-degree black belt. I am also passionate about coaching and particularly enjoy teaching young people this wonderful martial art. You can look up the achievements of our Bremen club here.
