Publications

Publications before 2012 appeared under Magdalena Scheiner or Magdalena Schwager. Please cite as published, but I am always grateful for pointers that mention my current name in addition (e.g. `as Kaufmann claimed/argued/etc. in Schwager YEAR’) to help minimize confusion (space permitting, of course).
