She has taught modern German literature and held several academic positions at universities throughout the United States (Yale, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt), German (Hamburg, Greifswald, Trier, Center for Literary and Cultural Studies, Berlin) and Switzerland (Basel, Zurich). 2004-2006 she held a Feodor Lynen fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation. Professor Strowick's areas of expertise include German and Austrian literature and culture from the 19th century to the present, Literary Theory, Poetics of Knowledge, Psychoanalysis, Rhetoric, and interdisciplinary approaches to literature. She is the author of Passagen der Wiederholung. Kierkegaard - Lacan - Freud (Metzler 1999) and Sprechende Körper - Poetik der Ansteckung. Performativa in Literatur und Rhetorik (Fink 2009). In addition, Professor Strowick has worked extensively on the intersection of literature with the human sciences (e.g. medicine, criminology). She is co-editor of several books and the author of numerous articles in this field. Both of her current research projects explore the relation between literature, epistemology, the sciences and media technology: Suspicion: Signs of Modernity and Realism: Observation through Description.
