BA Anglophone Postcolonial Studies

Potsdam Postcolonial Studies Collective members Lars Eckstein, Anja Schwarz, Dirk Wiemann, and Nicole Waller are launching the new English-language Bachelor’s program Anglophone Postcolonial Studies in the Winter term 26/27. The program examines literary, cultural, historical and media phenomena of the English-speaking world from a non-Eurocentric perspective. It centers complex questions surrounding the (post)colonial past, present and future and equips students with the skills to analyze these from multiple perspectives. The program is complemented by practice-oriented elements such as outreach projects, science communication, and project- and media-based work. The program qualifies graduates for advanced MA programs in literary and cultural studies in Germany and abroad, particularly the institute’s own Master’s program Anglophone Modernities in Literature and Culture. However, the program also opens up career opportunities wherever an in-depth understanding of the diverse range of literary, ecological, cultural, historical, and media developments in the English-speaking world (and beyond) is required.
