Vita

Anna-Marie Rönsch has been a research assistant and doctoral candidate at the Institute for Culture and Aesthetics of Digital Media (ICAM) at Leuphana University since September 2025. She earned her bachelor’s degree in literature, art, and media studies at the University of Konstanz, focusing on media studies and collaborating with Prof. Dr. Beate Ochsner’s research group. She then completed a Research Master’s degree at Erasmus University Rotterdam (NL) in the field of Sociology of Culture, Media, and Arts, where she worked as a research assistant at the university’s Innovation Hub, collaborated on research projects, and worked to make teaching more inclusive. During her master’s program, she spent a semester studying at the University of Antwerp (BE).

As part of her role as a research assistant, she coordinates and teaches in the Bachelor’s program in the Major Digital Media (MDM), which is offered in cooperation with the Hamburg Media School. 

Her current research focuses on the intersection of media studies and disability studies, disability media studies, with an emphasis on algorithmic media and the co-constitution of disability.

BA Colloquium
Anna-Marie Rönsch
Friday January 22rd: 14-18h
Saturday January 23th: 10-14h

In this colloquium, we focus on forming an exciting and answerable
research question for a BA thesis. We look at the relationship between
formulating a hypothesis and subsequently identifying methods to guide
the inquiry. The colloquium is a process of discovery best conducted
with peers.

The study of Digital Culture increasingly calls for interdisciplinary
methods – you have a considerable amount of latitude in terms of your
topic and methods. This disciplinary latitude means that choosing a
topic narrow enough to answer in a BA thesis is critical. For this
reason, much of the feedback given in the initial stages amounts to “be
more specific.” Accordingly, you will get the most out of this
colloquium if you arrive with a clearly defined topic. You have to know
the boundaries (e.g., a time frame, geographic area, demographics).

Introduction to Digital Media – Stream A
Mathias Denecke, Anna-Marie Rönsch
Digital Media Studies examine our current situation as significantly structured by digital, computer-based and networked technologies that themselves have been shaped through cultural practices and human knowledge. On the one hand, digital media act as transformative factors on and in cultures. They are transforming human knowledge production as well as practices of connection, relationship, exchange, competition, and communication. On the other hand, human practices and forms of knowledge production facilitate the constant re-configuration of digital media. Therefore, new spaces of possibility and fields of experimentati-on are constantly emerging for us to shape digital technologies and practices of being together, acting, and perceiving.

In this introductory course we look at current approaches to research on Digital Media. In addition to the cultural and media studies approaches that are essential for our study programme, you will get to know positions from related fields such as the history of technology, disability studies, science and technology studies or game studies. Each session combines the term “digital cultures” with a verb that refers to a certain aspect of how digital media structure our current situation. At the same time, they can be understood as an opportunity for acting on and shaping digital cultures.
