Author Olga Thierbach-McLean

Olga Thierbach-McLean

Olga Thierbach-McLean studied North American literature, Russian literature, and musicology at the University of Hamburg and UC Berkeley. After completing her Master of Arts, she earned her doctorate in American Studies at the University of Hamburg. Her main research interests are in contemporary U.S. political culture and particularly in the different sensibilities of American and European political mindsets, American Transcendentalism, and the intellectual history of liberalism. She is the author of several books and journal articles on U.S. politics, and in particular on the impact of Emersonian individualism on American discourses on personal rights, identity politics and social reform. Olga Thierbach-McLean works as an independent researcher, journalist and literary translator, splitting her time between Hamburg and Vancouver.
