My name is Michael Gratzke. I am a professor of Comparative Literature with interests in love & relationships research, participatory research and DIY culture (such as zines).
My work combines methodologies from the arts & humanities and social sciences. In terms of themes, my research explores representations of gendered subjectivity. My comparative work addresses German-, English- and Finnish-language prose. I facilitate community-based participatory research into love and ‘healthy relationships’.
