Dissertationen und Habilitationen

Hier sehen Sie eine kurze Übersicht über die derzeitig laufenden sowie die kürzlich abgeschlossenen Dissertationen und Habilitationen am Englischen Seminar:

Gegenwärtig promovieren am Englischen Seminar mehr als 50 DoktorandInnen in den Disziplinen

• englische Sprachwissenschaft,
• englische Sprachgeschichte,
• englische, amerikanische und postkoloniale Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft. 

Das Englische Seminar rangiert somit nicht nur im Bereich der Qualität der Ausbildung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses in der deutschen Spitzengruppe, sondern auch im Hinblick auf die Quantität. Mehr als die Hälfte aller DoktorandInnen werden durch das Seminar finanziell unterstützt (meist durch die vergütete Mitarbeit an den Lehrstühlen und an Forschungsprojekten) oder werden über Stipendien gefördert.
