Godela Weiss-Sussex's main research interests lie in the German culture and literature of the 19th and 20th centuries. Her two current research projects focus firstly on feminism and eugenics in the first two decades of the 20th century; and secondly, on concepts of Jewishness and femininity in the work of German-speaking Jewish women writers in Berlin 1900-1938. This latter project builds on a conference volume she co-edited with Andrea Hammel in 2009, 'Not an Essence but a Positioning': German-Jewish Women Writers (1900-1938). Other publications include: Beyond Glitter and Doom. The Contingency of the Weimar Republic (ed. with Jochen Hung and Geoff Wilkes, 2012); The Cultural Identities of European Cities (ed. with Katia Pizzi, 2011). London German Studies XII: 'The Racehorse of Genius'. Literary and Cultural Comparisons (ed. with Martin Liebscher and Ben Schofield, 2009); ‘Verwisch’ die Spuren!’. Bertolt Brecht’s Work and Legacy – A Reassessment (ed. with Robert Gillett: 2008); Berlin. Kultur und Metropole in den Zwanziger und seit den Neunziger Jahren (ed. with Ulrike Zitzlsperger: 2007); Metropolitan Chronicles. Georg Hermann's Berlin Novels 1897 to 1912 (2000).
