About
I’m Greta Goetz, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the English Department at the Faculty of Philology, University of Belgrade.
For over the past two decades, I have taught higher education. My research in cultural studies and philology is concerned with processes of inclusive experience in communication and interpretation in the postdigital age. My work draws on inclusive learning, narrative, and pattern design approaches and grew out of a focus on anthropology, hermeneutics, phenomenology, philology, media studies, and science and technology studies. I co-edited Teaching and Learning to Co-Create in 2021 (Palgrave) and contributed to Constructing Postdigital Research: Method and Emancipation (Springer) in 2023 and Phenomenology in Action for Research in Networked Learning (Springer) in 2024. My currently unmaintained professional website is https://gretagoetz.com.
I have a multicultural background, was educated in Hong Kong, Switzerland, France, the United States, and Serbia. This led me to appreciate inclusive, extensible design pattern approaches to learning of all kinds, including digital and postdigital learning. I sometimes draw on what Nora Bateson has termed symmathesy, or ‘transcontextual mutual learning through interaction’. I appreciate digital tools for thought and love to tinker, especially with Emacs.
A sample of my work in Serbian-English translation is the following manuscript available online: Marčetić, A. (2018). After Comparative Literature, Institute for Literature and Art: Belgrade.
This personal wiki-like digital garden should be considered an unedited glimpse at the iterative wiki model I use in my classes.

Standing for culture, finishing a book, teaching remotely. More on what I am doing NOW here.Then top
I worked my way through a BA, Cum Laude, from Columbia University and began my career working for various publications in Hong Kong and New York, including TIME magazine. I received my pre-Bologna MA and PhD degrees from Belgrade University. My early academic work focused on late 19th and early 20th century intercultural theologians, thinkers, and scientists. When I began teaching American cultural studies, digital technology was already ascendant, creating a need to develop new pedagogies. As a result, I began to develop networked learning approaches and the digital research that I do today.Selected recent papers and work top
