Graduate Conference - Critical Studies
21. May
10am-6pm, Kunstraum at Leuphana University
After four and a half years of the MA Kulturwissenschaften: Kritik der Gegenwart – Künste, Theorie, Geschichte (Critical Studies), alumni are organizing a one day symposium during which theses that have resulted from the program are presented. One major strength of the study program is the exchange among students. Thus, it seems only logical to get together at the end of our shared time at Leuphana, to take some time to explore the different perspectives our masters provided, how they evolved individually and what form a conversation between them might take.
On May 21st six (soon to be) alumni are getting together to present their master theses. The program will be in German.
