Yuna Shin
Lecturer
As a German Lecturer at UNCW, my main responsibility is teaching German. I primarily teach GER 101 and GER 102. However, I also teach higher-level classes as needed and as assigned, including GER 201. I bring years of teaching experience at Cape Fear Community College, where I taught beginning and intermediate German, Women's Studies, and Critical Thinking classes. For my efforts, I received the Marilyn Goodman Anderson Excellence in Teaching Award for 2020-2021.
Previously, I taught German courses as a graduate teaching assistant at the University of California, Irvine, and Princeton University. I also conducted research at Universität Hamburg and the University of Chicago while pursuing a PhD in Germanic Studies at Princeton University. While at the University of Chicago, I taught German literature and culture courses in English for the Graham School of General Studies.
