Marlén Jacobshagen

For the past decade, I have been creating online and offline storytelling content that brings people from different cultures and backgrounds together to learn from one another. My approach has always been immersive, exploring historical and cultural landscapes to uncover common threads and make complex information accessible to a wider audience.

This curiosity continues to guide my work today. As a linguist and researcher, I focus on how language shapes — and is shaped by — our everyday lives. I am currently part of the DFG-funded Emmy Noether research group “Posthumanist linguistics? Communicative practices between humans, animals, and machines”, where I investigate how AI-driven speech technologies transform human–machine communication and contribute to emerging understandings of agency, rationality, and authority in technologically mediated discourse.
