CV

Ines Barner is a literary scholar particularly interested in the interface between literature and publishing. She received her PhD at the University of Basel with a thesis on the history of collaborative writing between author and editor (1900–2000): What do editors do when they 'co-write' a text and what does this do to literature and its public?. From 2010 to 2015 she served as a research assistant at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Humanities “Morphomata” at the University of Cologne, and from 2014 to 2019 at the DFG/SNF research group "Medien und Mimesis" (Basel/Weimar). After she held a fellowship at the Institute of Advanced Studies in the Humanities, Essen (KWI) she became a Research Associate at the Chair for Science Studies at ETH Zurich (2021 to 2025).

She is a board member of the Foundation for a Critical Edition of Robert Walsers’ Work and part of intercom Verlag, a non-commercial publishing initiative for new publication, teaching and communication formats in the humanities and cultural studies.
