"My inter-disciplinary PhD research focuses on the multifaceted figure of Anne Frank. It is primarily a media study and explores the different aspects of Frank that have been visually presented to audiences throughout the decades. The study focuses in particular on the Anne Frank House and on various film/TV depictions between 1959 and 2023. It aims to offer new insights through a gendered approach of Frank as a female role model, and seeks to examine the different ways audiences consume Frank."
