About Us Charlotte Blattner

Charlotte Blattner is a doctoral candidate at the HCIAS and the Faculty of Modern Languages and a Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes fellow. From 2021 to 2023, she received a doctoral scholarship from the Landesgraduiertenförderung of the state of Baden-Württemberg. In her dissertation project within the Research Training Group “Communication and Society in Ibero-America,” Charlotte investigates the sociolinguistic situation of Spanish as a heritage language in Germany, in which the language is transmitted from generation to generation.

Charlotte studied translation studies with German, Spanish, and French at the Heidelberg University and has completed several academic stays in Spain.
