INVITATION: Masterclass and Public Lecture

The Chair for English and American Cultural Studies invites you to two events happening in the week leading up to the student conference The Odyssey: Adaptations, Afterlives, and Female Agency, 23 October, organised by students of English, German, and Greek studies. 

We will have a very special guest joining us in Bamberg to get us into the spirit of The Odyssey and its afterlives in time for the conference: author and German Literature and Creative Writing Ulrike Dräsner. On Wednesday, 21 October, at 4:15pm (Room U11/00.16), Prof. Dräsner will be holding a Masterclass (about 75 min.) in which we will be discussing her work penelopes sch()iff (2025). If you are interested in joining, we would kindly ask you to sign up via email to Marie Kluge (marie.kluge@uni-bamberg.de) by 16 October at the latest.

On the same day (6 pm sharp, Room U2/00.25), Prof. Dräsner will give a public lecture of penelopes sch()iff, to which everyone is cordially invited. Prof. Dräsner will be reading from several passages from her work, and there will be time for questions in between. As this is an open event, you do not have to register - we would be happy to have you!
