Due to illness, the ASL secretariat has to remain closed this week (May 23-27). We are sorry for the inconvenience.

We cordially invite you to our upcoming Picador reading with current Picador Professor Hilary Leichter. The reading will take place on Friday, July 1 at 7 pm at Galerie für Zeitgenössiche Kunst (Leipzig). More infos soon. 

Annika Schadewaldt’s office hours on Thursday, May 19th will have to be cancelled. If you wanted to see Ms Schadewaldt in her office hours this week, please send her an email to reschedule for another time.

Both of Hilary Leichter’s classes will take place in room 3515 (GWZ, Beethovenstr. 15, “Glaskasten”). You can find the room by going up to the fifth floor and walking down the hallway across the elevators, left of the letter boxes.

The Secretariat is closed on Monday May 9, 2022. On Wednesday and Thursday it is open during the regular Office Hours.

Thank you for your understanding.

Being back on campus, I hope you are all enjoying the summer term so far! Between assignments, group works, reading journals and mensa pauses, I also want you to think about the time after your studies at ASL and the opportunities internships can offer during your studies. I know that this can be quite overwhelming and frightening because the field of opportunities seems so wide. But this is also a chance! The internships I have for you today also reflect this broadness quite well and are just a suggestion what you can do with an BA or MA in American Studies.

ASL is happy to announce that Beyond Narrative: Exploring Narrative Liminality and Its Cultural Work has just been released as an open-access publication with transcript. It is the culmination of the work that took place from 2017 to 2021 as part of the DFG-funded network “Narrative Liminality and/in the Formation of American Modernities,” which was organized by ASL’s Sebastian M.
