Project Assistant

Eleonore Hein

Eleonore Hein started her role as Project Assistant in the German-Canadian Studies at the University of Winnipeg in February 2024. Prior to that, she finished her Bachelor’s degree at the University of Manitoba, specializing in Research in German Literature with a minor in Biology.

Throughout her educational journey, she has taken numerous steps to broaden her horizon by taking a great number of courses in different academic areas including Mathematics, Physics, English, Psychology and Sociology. Thereby increasing her ability to relate to individuals with different backgrounds and enabling her to look at the world through different perspectives. In addition, engaging in volunteering, particularly with chronically ill infants and their guardians reinforced her desire for understanding individuals in their diverse narratives.

As a German immigrant, this area of research holds personal significance for Eleonore, fueling her enthusiasm to be part of the team that contributes to preserving oral history and making it available for further education and research.
