The European Joint Master's Programme in English and American Studies is pleased to announce its first Joint Lecture Series "Diversity: Linguistic, Cultural and Literary Perspectives".
We would like to invite students of English and American Studies to a new 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 first edition of our lecture series will deal with the topic of diversity 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 November 2023 and February 2024 and a hybrid student conference on April 25, 2024 in Bamberg (Germany).
