Rachael Huener Return to faculty and staff directory Rachael Huener (B.A. St. Olaf College, M.A. Northwestern University, Ph.D. University of Minnesota) teaches a wide range of German Studies courses, in particular cultural history, 19th and 20th century German literature, and early film. She is active in the field of German Studies curriculum and pedagogy and enjoys the opportunities in the Macalester German Studies department for interdisciplinary work. Her research interests focus on pre-World War I commercial advertising stamps, in which she explores the relatively unknown medium of the Reklamemarke and analyses its social as well as commercial mediations. Her interest in visual cultural and specifically commercial art have strongly motivated her implementation of computer-based multimedia in her German Studies courses. Her current activities include chairing the 2003 Minnesota AATG high school German contest testing committee.   Office: 211A Humanities Phone: 651-696-6759 email: huener@macalester.edu
