Career
Lähnemann is the daughter of the theologian
PhD
at the Universität Bamberg on late medieval didactic literature.
Lähnemann worked at the
German Studies at Newcastle University, and was also Head of the German Section in Newcastle's School of Modern Languages. In 2010, the German Research Foundation nominated her for AcademiaNet,[5] the database of profiles of leading women scientists;[6][7] she also chaired Women in German Studies 2009–2015. In 2015, she was appointed to the Chair of Medieval German Language and Literature at the University of Oxford.[2] 2015–2024, she spends two months a year as a Senior Research Fellow at FRIAS, made possible by co-funding of the chair by the VolkswagenStiftung, the DAAD, and the University of Freiburg
.
Her research focuses on medieval
Medingen Convent
.
Lähnemann's major topic is the engagement with the Reformation and printing. She brought a new linguistic and interdisciplinary angle to Reformation Studies in Oxford, completing the team of experts - Lyndal Roper and Diarmaid MacCulloch being counted among them. As part of the Translating, Printing, Singing the Reformation project a website[8] providing access to digitized Reformation pamphlets was launched, as well as a blog[9] and podcast[10] documenting the most recent activities of the Reformation team. Furthermore, book printing workshops[11] and new productions of key scenes from the Reformation[12] took place. The political relevance of the project becomes evident in the combination of Reformation and anti-Brexit ideas,[13][14] but especially in the use of Reformation pamphlets for a protest-Hallelujah[15][16] in the context of civil resistance in Hong Kong.
The author Angelika Overath dedicated her novel Sie dreht sich um[17] to Lähnemann.
