Huener's research interests focus on pre-World War I commercial advertising stamps, in which she explores the relatively unknown medium of the Reklamemarke and analyzes 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. She teaches a wide range of German Studies courses, in particular cultural history, 19th and 20th century German literature, and early film. EDUCATION: B.A., St. Olaf College M.A., Northwestern University Ph.D., University of Minnesota Huener has been teaching at Macalester since 1995.
