Starting with the winter term of 2017/18, ASL will offer two new professional skills modules (Schlüsselqualifikationsmodule) for creative writing, taught by the Picador Guest Professor for Literature. The new modules, “Creative Writing: Imagining America” (in the winter) and “Creative Writing: Envisioning America” (in the summer), will allow students to gain insights into the practices and deeper intricacies of creative writing as part of their regular curriculum. They are suited for both beginners and more experienced writers.
aspeers just published its new calls for papers. Embedded into the American Studies Leipzig MA program, aspeers is the first and currently only peer-reviewed print journal for MA-level scholars of American studies in Europe.
As part of his Picador Professorship at American Studies Leipzig, the author Tom Drury took over the professorship's official Twitter account for a few hours on July 26 and posted a series of tweets that, together, form the short story “The Patron Saint of Rabies.” If you missed how the story was live-tweeted, you can still reread it in its entirety on Twitter.
American Studies Leipzig is proud to announce Tom Drury as our next Picador Guest Professor for Literature. He will hold the professorship in the summer term of 2017.
For updates and the latest details on your courses in the upcoming winter term of 2016/17, please keep checking the course catalog regularly. Information that might still be missing on individual courses will likely be added in the course of the coming days and weeks.
