We would like to invite students of English and American Studies to this transdisciplinary series of yearly online lectures offered jointly by the partner universities of the European Joint Master’s Programme in English and American Studies. The second edition of our lecture series will deal with the topic of environment(s) from linguistic, cultural and literary perspectives. It is an outstanding opportunity to interact with a group of international students and to get to know professors from our partner universities. The series consists of four online lectures taught between October 2024 and January 2025 and a hybrid student conference on May 8, 2025 in Pécs (Hungary).
