BuchenauAnabel Aliaga-Buchenau is Associate Professor of German. Currently she is serving a three year term as Associate Chair of the Department of Languages and Culture Studies. She was a finalist of the prestigious Bank of America Teaching Award in 2012, a nominee for the Carnegie/Case Professor of the Year in 2011 and from 2009-2012 she was honored with the Bonnie E. Cone Teaching Professorship at UNC Charlotte. A native of Germany, she has worked for years at increasing the number of German Majors at UNC Charlotte. During her time as coordinator of the German program the number of Majors increased from 32 to 110. Her outreach work with the German community of the greater Charlotte region has resulted in cooperation with the German Language and Culture Foundation. Through this partnership, each year thirty students receive a scholarship of $2000 to study in Germany during the summer. In addition, students have numerous opportunities to work as interns in German-American companies here in Charlotte or in Germany through her efforts. Buchenau takes pride in the vibrant German program at UNC Charlotte. In her research, Buchenau focuses on 19th century immigrants from Germany and their literary production. In particular, she is interested in women immigrants to the Americas. She is currently working on the translation of a Mexican general’s memoir from Spanish to English. Her research enhances her teaching expertise. She teaches upper level German classes as well as translation classes.
