The Chair of American Literary and Cultural Studies focuses on literature, culture, and media of the United and Canada. In teaching and research, we discuss cultural texts, films, series, and other media in relation to changes and continuities in North American cultural and literary history, such as regarding gender in US politics or the European variations of the American Western Myth.

Our teaching strives to be interdisciplinary and looks for contemporary debates. We offer foundational knowledge and skills in research in North American Studies and encourage students to become actively engaged in our scholarly activities, and to join lively classroom discussions.
