Nadine Thielemann is a full professor of Slavic Linguistics and Intercultural Communication and Head of the Institute. She worked and studied at universities in Germany (Freiburg, Potsdam, Hamburg), Poland (Cracow), Russia (Kazan), and Ukraine (Lviv) before joining WU. At WU, her international experiences inform and inspire her research and teaching on intercultural communication.

Her research pivots on the interplay of communication and culture across diverse contexts. She is interested in how culture shapes communication, ranging from the micro-level of face-to-face interaction and individual communicative practices to the macro-level of discourses across various domains.

Current projects investigate leadership communication across cultures, informal communicative practices in the workplace as an expression of workplace culture, and migrants’ narrative construction of identity vis-à-vis the host society’s master narratives.

At the discursive level, her research focuses on the intersection of political and economic discourse or business communication across different cultures. This includes the discursive negotiation of energy issues between geopolitics and corporate spin across CEE, transnational public campaigns, or Russia’s utilization of vaccination campaigns for public diplomacy and propaganda.
