Teaching
I teach BA courses in literary studies with a focus on literature as of the Early Modern period, philosophical, theological and political approaches, and critical theory. In addition to British literature I often like to include other European and US-American literary works. I am also fond of integrating various movies, TV shows and anime as part of my curriculum.
