University of Alberta
In cooperation with partners at the University of Alberta, Canada, members of the PhD Program organised several workshops in Munich and a working conference entitled "Theorizing Cultural Immediacy" in Edmonton. These meetings were financed by a partnership fund of LMU Munich and the University of Alberta. A workshop entitled "The End as Enjambement: Beginnings in 21st Century Fiction|Theory|Culture" was organised in Edmonton.
Both universities strongly support an ongoing commitment to maintain and intensify this bilateral- cooperation. In an initial step towards these goals, doctoral candidates are encouraged to pursue a double doctoral degree and supported in that pursuit.
