Forschungsfelder
The Chair of English Literary Studies concentrates its research activities on a variety of Anglophone literatures, including texts from Great Britain and Ireland, as well as New English Literatures / Postcolonial Literatures in English. We emphasise both the key philological debates of traditional literary studies and aspects of Cultural, Media, and Gender Studies.
Our current research efforts are focused on Gender and Masculinity Studies, Postcolonial Studies (with a particular focus on Sri Lankan literature and culture), and Adaptation Studies.
