Markus Johannes Diepold completed his Masters degree in German and English/American Studies at the University of Graz in 2019. In his final thesis, supervised by Prof. Silvia Schultermandl, he focused on a sociocultural comparison of the visual politics of abolitionist and lynching photographs in the nineteenth century within the U.S. context, on which he expanded in a 2020 journal article published in INTERACTIONS, which investigated the imagerys afterlife in the Civil Rights Movement. During his studies, he spent a semester at Willamette University in 2015 and worked as a student assistant to Prof. Klaus Rieser at the Department of American Studies from 2016-2018. Following his studies, he spent a year at Williams College, working as a teaching associate at the Center for Foreign Languages, Literatures & Cultures in the academic year 2019/20.

Currently, he is pursuing a doctorate in American Studies at the University of Regensburg supervised by Prof. Dr. Volker Depkat and is working as a research assistant for the DFG-Project Entangled Objects? Die materielle Kultur der Diplomatie in transkulturellen Verhandlungsprozessen
