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.

BA Colloquium
Jan Müggenburg, Anna-Marie Rönsch
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).

History of Computing: Epistemology of Artificial Intelligence
Anna-Marie Rönsch
In this course, we will critically examine the "hype" surrounding artificial intelligence by asking the following questions: What do we mean by artificial intelligence? What is artificial about it? What does intelligence mean, and how have these meanings changed over time?


We will combine perspectives from the 1950s to the 1980s with current views to examine the different stages in the history of AI, from "thinking machines" to symbolic AI to large language models such as ChatGPT. In doing so, we will continually reflect on the (material) infrastructure used for these systems, the exploitative practices that affect humans and our environment as well as the political interest and neo-colonial ideologies that underlie them.
