About
Layla Kiefel is a doctoral student since 2020 at the University Bordeaux Montaigne and at the University of Konstanz.
After a German-French baccalaureate, she first studied humanities at the Lycée Henri IV in Paris and was then accepted at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Lyon. There she completed her Bachelor's degree (2014), the agrégation (2017) and Master's degree (2020) in German Studies and German History. She spent two semesters at the University of Konstanz and two more at the Free University in Berlin, where she also did an internship at the Centre Marc Bloch (2019-2020). Her first Master's thesis was about the portrayal of prostitution in German television documentaries after its legalisation in 2002. Her interest in gender studies and history led to the subject of her second Master's thesis, dedicated to the ISK women of the daily newspaper Der Funke, who tried to mobilise a socialist united front against National Socialism in 1932-1933. She also worked during her two-year stay in Lebanon at the research institute Institut français du Proche Orient (ifpo) in Beirut (2018) and as an e-learning project manager at an NGO (2019).
