Chair for Sorabistic Studies
Welcome to the Chair for Sorabistic studies!
From the winter semester 2024/25, students of Slavic Studies, German Studies and History (Bachelor, Teacher Program) as well as Digital Humanities (Master) at TU Dresden are able to study Sorbian content continuously and in depth during their six semesters. Knowledge about the Sorbs is now a compulsory part of the introduction to Slavic studies.
The Sorbian Studies track comprises four to five courses per semester (see course list), which focus on the language, literature, history and culture of the Sorbs, as well as language training in Upper Sorbian up to B2 level. In addition, Sorbian content is increasingly integrated into the compulsory introductory courses of the Slavic studies degree programs. There will also be opportunities to specialize in the field of digital humanities.
"We also want to interest students of other subjects in Sorbian topics, and our projects on the digitization of the diverse Sorbian-Wendish cultural heritage offer numerous theoretical and practical points of contact, especially for digital humanities."
