From "Neuere Englische Literatur" to "Anglophone Literature and Culture"
Prof. Dr. Barbara Schaff is the Head of the Anglophone Literature and Culture division. As she joined the English Department only in 2008, she does not have a first-hand account of the 1980s Department to give. However, some features of studying what then was called "Neuere Englische Literatur" were the same in Göttingen as elsewhere. In the video below Prof. Schaff discusses the changes both in the division and the Department as a whole, with a special focus on study conditions and course contents.
