Teaching Literature #23
This time, the University of Education Lower Austria students and I discussed on April 5, 2024, in the Dschungel Wien Modernism, Postmodernism, and Avant-Pop Literature (with examples from Thomas Pynchon, David Foster Wallace, Stefan Schmitzer, and Natascha Gangl) – and the books they selected for their presentations (from Nawal El Saadawi to Alice Walker, from Umberto Eco to James Baldwin, from J. R. R. Tolkien to Terry Pratchett).

For international orientation & European collaboration – against nationalist-isolationist tendencies

“Spotlight” on the University of Graz as a “university without borders”, with the Arqus European University Alliance being an integral part of this vision:

I am happy to have my statement featured among the quotes of the Arqus community at the University of Graz:
„It is important to me personally to provide pre-doctoral and post-doctoral researchers at the University of Graz with support offers that are as internationally oriented as possible. Arqus offers an excellent platform for this. It also seems important to me to counteract the nationalist-isolationist tendencies that are unfortunately currently virulent throughout Europe with a project such as the Arqus Alliance that aims to deepen and expand international collaboration.“

Suppose you do game-changing research – and nobody knows about it!
The participants of the Doctoral Academy Day 2023 discussed the manifold ways of communicating research findings to the media, to policy-makers and politicians, to friends and family, and, yes, even to researchers from other disciplines.
