Oberseminar

The Oberseminar is open to doctoral candidates, to students completing their MA, Staatsexamen or Master Thesis, and to those approaching the end of their studies. It is intended to give the participants the opportunity to introduce their projects, and to learn from the presentations given.
The focus will be on theoretical approaches and their application to the projects, with the added intention of fostering an exchange of research interests and ideas among advanced students of English/American Literature and British/American Cultural Studies in the department. A prerequisite for those attending is the willingness to present the findings of their work as well as to lead the ensuing group discussions.

• For LiKWa-students this course serves as “Forschungslaboratorium”, and for Master-students it serves a double function:
  • as the “Peer Colloquium,” it is part of “Wissenschaftliche Praxis II”, and
  • as the forum for the “Colloquium“ it is part of the “Modul Wissenschaftliche Präsentation”.

Both requirements have to be met in different semesters. The first session will take place in the second week of term.
