His first book Biological Modernism: The New Human in Weimar Culture in 2019 with Northwestern University Press in 2019. The monograph recently received an Honorable Mention for the prestigious 2020 DAAD/GSA book prize and was praised as a study that, “indicates a range of connections to contemporary discussions around Ecology and the Anthropocene, and thereby opens German Studies to a broader field of transdisciplinary investigations in our own historical moment.” (https://www.thegsa.org/prizes/daadgsa-book-prize)
Carl is currently working on a research project on German science fiction, modernism, and modernization.
