I am happy to supervise theses at both BA and MA level & Zulassungsarbeiten, but please note that I cannot agree on any supervision without knowing what you would like to work on.

?

For this purpose you should sign up for an office hour so we can talk about your ideas.

?

Before you do please

• make sure that the suggested topic falls within the area of American Studies
• plese send me a short abstract of your proposed project (ca 250 words) that describes the text(s) you would like to work with, sketches a rough theorietical framwork, and articulates a tentative reserch question.

We can then discuss your ideas in more detail and make adjustments where necessary.
