For over twenty years, we have been welcoming researchers from various disciplines to our faculty as part of this programme or its predecessor (University of Graz Visiting Professor in Cultural Studies). The well-equipped professorship enables exchange at the highest level and is perceived as extremely enriching by all participants. The Visiting Professor in Cultural Studies program lasts 4 months and includes research and teaching activities (at least 2 courses).
The University of Graz is interested in an interdisciplinary cultural studies approach that fits into one (or better several) of the following areas:
- American Studies
- Ancient and modern history
- Archaeology
- Art History
- Jewish Studies
- Digital Humanities
- Classical and modern languages and literature
- Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology
- Linguistics
- Translation Studies
- Musicology
- Philosophy
More detailed information and calls for applications & visiting professors from previous years
The goal of the Kurt-David-Brühl Visiting Professorship for Jewish Studies is to teach the basics of Jewish culture and history and to deal with selected special topics in seminars.
Since the academic year 2001/2002, 19 visiting professors from all over Europe have worked at the Center for Jewish Studies at the Faculty of Humanities within the framework of the Kurt-David-Brühl Visiting Professorship.
The visiting professorship comprises 6 semester hours of teaching per week, of which 2 semester hours must take the form of a lecture. The Kurt-David-Brühl Visiting Professorship in Jewish Studies is oriented towards cultural studies and is therefore open to applicants from various academic disciplines.
