I am co-editor of the journal New Chaucer Studies: Pedagogy and Profession, an open-access and peer-reviewed journal devoted to our work inside both the classroom and the institution, as well as to our outward-facing work contributing to the public discourse. In these ways, the journal seeks to advance a broad and embracing conception of medieval literary studies.

Also, I am a member of the following advisory and editorial boards:

• Journal Beiträge für mediävistische Erzählforschung (BmE): https://ojs.uni-oldenburg.de/ojs/index.php/bme
• Project Retracing Connections: Byzantine Storyworlds in Greek, Arabic, Georgian, and Old Slavonic (c. 950–1100), Uppsala University and Swedish Research Institute Istanbul: https://retracingconnections.org
• Brill’s Narratological Commentaries to Ancient Texts

I am currently member of two scientific networks (funded by the German Research Foundation):

• Diachronic Metalepsis
• Form in Dialogue

Together with Amanda Gerber and Martha Rust, I run a blog devoted to lists: https://listology.blog
