[3] In 2009 she took a guest professorship at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, followed between 2009 and 2011 by a similar appointment at the Berlin University of the Arts.

[5] In 2014 Obexer teamed up with Marianna Salzmann to establish the "New Institute for Stage Writing" ("Neue Institut für Dramatisches Schreiben"), with the objective of bringing the social significance of dramatic art back more strongly into public consciousness, and "to strengthen an art-form that exists, in the first instance, to develop a culture of debate".

[6] Her 2015 radio and stage plays "Illegale Helfer" won the "Eurodrama" and Robert Geisendörfer prizes in 2016.
