General Information
If you plan on registering for a module exam or thesis project (B.A. or M.A.) with an instructor associated with the professorship for American Literature and Culture (JProf. Dr. Judith Rauscher), please keep in mind that you need to focus on North American literature and culture/the field of American Studies. This means that you must either choose literary and cultural texts produced by people coming from or residing in the United States and Canada (in some cases Mexico, the Caribbean or the Pacific) or literary and cultural texts produced elsewhere in the world dealing in important ways with the United States or Canada (in some cases with Mexico, the Caribbean, or the Pacific). If you want to do comparative work, at least half of your primary materials have to come from or engage with North America in significant ways.
Study Support
If you have a (learning) disability, a chronic illness, or care-taking responsibilities (for children or other family members) that keep you from participating in courses in the way you would like to or from completing some of the course readings and tasks, please do not hesitate to ask for replacement tasks or a waiving of certain course requirements. We as a team firmly believe that students have to take responsibility for their own learning, but the ultimate goal is for everyone to take away as much as possible from their studies. If we, the American Literature and Culture team, can accomodate you in any way and remove (or, at least, lower) hurdles and help students with their studies, we will try to do so. For more information on academic accomodations, see here.
