We are very happy to announce that in the Spring 2021 semester our Center will be hosting, Dr. Stefan Rabitsch from the Center for Inter-American Studies (CIAS), University of Graz. He visited the ASC in the past and – we think – liked it here so much that he decided to return for the whole semester, offering an undergraduate elective “‘[L]et me go to hell by my own route’: Understanding the American West (History, Culture, Myths)” and a graduate monographic lecture “‘Never ain’t here yet’”: The Western, A National Art Form.” The Visiting Professorship is offered within the framework of the University’s Integrated Development Programme (ZIP).
