Tips on getting off to a good start
When you first arrive at the University it might be difficult to establish exactly what is expected from you, so we have created this list of tips in order to give you an idea.
1. Read the Academic regulations for your degree (Studieordningen) and our guide to your courses
By reading the academic regulations (studieordningen) and our guide to your courses (which is included in this guide) it becomes easier for you to understand how the courses are structured, and what you are meant to get out of them, and what the exams are going to be like. This might help you focus better when studying for your courses.
2. Buy your books early
Buying your books early can be an advantage as you then have more time to study your new subjects, and they can easily be obtained through ‘Stakbogladen’
which is our campus bookshop. The list of books you should purchase will be published once you start at the University and you will be able to buy your books used and save money.

3. Attend all your classes and as many social events as possible
Attending all of your classes is obviously a no-brainer: the more you participate, the more you will get out of your education. By joining social events you will also make new friends, which will help you have fun during your time at University.
Recent research has shown that many University students feel lonely, and we definitely do not want you to become a part of that unfortunate survey, so join us!
4. Make sure you don’t have to work a lot during the first semester
Remember, when you attend the University, you are a full-time student who is expected to use approximately 820 hours per semester on University work. Having a part-time job is naturally a lovely thing, but try not to work too much during your first semester. You will probably need time to get used to the amount of studying, participation in campus activities and getting to know people so take it easy during your first semester.
5. Participate in your seminars and in your study group
By participating we mean speak up during your seminars. The teachers will want you to ask questions, come with suggestions and offer your point of view. Also take advantage of your study group in order to get some work done in a much more fun way than sitting on your own in a reading room.
6. Get engaged in a student organisation
It can’t be said often enough, get engaged in a student organisation! It’s educational, you get to know lots of people, you get to influence your degree programme and it’s a valuable thing to write on your CV!
7. Structure your reading
At University, you will have lots of texts to read. Therefore, it’s good to have a certain approach to reading that you can use. Find out what works for you and structure your reading accordingly.

Mythbusting, English style
Myth #1:
Studying at the university means ‘bye-bye social life’ and a calendar filled with an enormous workload!
Fact:
It is true that the amount of required studying may seem overwhelming (see picture for information on various types of study activities) at first, but that does not mean that your social life will be a thing of the past. On the contrary, the English Department offers numerous of social and academic clubs for you to join as well as parties for you to attend. Some of these offers will be included in this guide.
Tips:
Structure your time with a calendar! Make use of the University facilities, such as the study rooms, libraries etc. if you find it difficult to get any work done at home. Also use the student counselors and attend their workshops.
7 Myth #2:
In order to be able to afford all the books I have to buy for my courses, I will need to take a student loan or sell a kidney!
Fact:
It is true that during the first semester you will have to spend quite a lot of money on books, but do not despair. A lot of the books that you buy for your first semester (e.g.
The Norton Anthologies) will be used the other semesters as well.
Tips:
If you want to save some money, you can either try to bundle up your purchases, maybe with others, on Amazon, Saxo etc. or buy your books second hand from your tutors or older students. Facebook is a useful tool to find people who are willing to sell their old books. Check out the group “Books for sale (English Department, Aarhus University)” https://www.facebook.com/groups/360575060749123/?fref=ts.
Myth #3:
The tutors are only here to party, and we can’t get any useful information or help from them.
Fact:
The tutors are here to give you the best introduction possible. That means that we will not only introduce you to all the social aspects of being a student at the university, but also to what it actually means to be a student.
Myth #4:
The Orientation week will be filled with humiliating escapades, and I will be forced to make a fool of myself to complete strangers.
Fact:
You have probably heard about some of the terrible things people from other faculties than ours have been forced to do during their Orientation weeks, but don’t worry! The English Department has a clear no-alcohol policy, which you can read more about in the rus-pjece, and you will never be asked to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
8 Myth #5:
My 4th semester will suck if I don’t go on exchange, and I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Fact:
The exchange program is a great opportunity to see new parts of the world and grow as a person. However, many people don’t go on exchange, and they’ve all been just fine (we promise). Spending your 4th semester on AU gives you the chance to participate in lots of fun activities and a variety of exciting electives.
A Helping Hand
Beginning your studies at university can be tough enough with all the new people and all the new information being crammed into your head. So, to make the transition easier this section will try to give you an overview of some of the most important sites and people to go to if you experience problems of any kind.
The Academic Regulations (Studieordningen):
The Academic Regulations (Studieordningen) is a student’s bread and butter, as it will inform you of the official rules for the courses you will be taking, along with information on the exam requirements. The Academic Regulations can be found by following this link:
http://studerende.au.dk/studier/fagportaler/arts/studieordninger/
- Click on the link above and search for Engelsk, then click “Engelsk, Bacheloruddannelse i (2015)” to see your Academic Regulations.
Student counselors:
The Student counselors’ main task is to help you if you have any trouble on either a personal level or with your studies. Here is a link to see when they are available:
http://studerende.au.dk/studier/fagportaler/arts/studievejledning/studievejledere/slk/
Going on Exchange
As an English student at Aarhus University, you have amazing opportunity to go on exchange during your 4th semester, the spring semester of 2018. You might think that it's too early to start thinking about this, seeing as you have only just begun your studies, but the deadline for applying is already during your 1st semester! The English Department at AU has their own agreements with a list of universities around the world where the
9
department allots the spaces to applicants from English. If you don't get a spot in this round, fear not, the slots not taken will be up for grabs during your 3rd semester. There are so many universities and countries to choose from that it might seem a bit overwhelming.
When going on exchange, you can either chose between the Erasmus-program which enables you to go to places within Europe, or you can choose to go overseas. The process is tough and difficult at times, but it is all worth it.

Introduction to your courses
Who is Who – and What is What?
A lecture is a session held by a lecturer in front of a large number of students in a lecture hall. At a lecture the students are usually not meant to take part in discussion but are instead meant to listen to the lecturer for (usually) 45 minutes. As a result, any questions to the lecturer should be written down and asked to the seminar teacher instead. The syllabus is presented during the lectures, and it is the material presented that you will use continuously during the seminars.
A seminar is closer to what most people consider a ‘normal class’. Approximately 30 students discuss the topics of the week (introduced in the most recent lecture in most cases) with their seminar teacher in a classroom. The students are encouraged to ask questions, answer and to participate as much as possible. Students are also put in study groups, where your role is to help and support each other in your academic work. Each member is collectively responsible for the solvation of a given assignment.
Instructor sessions are taught by senior students. These sessions provide the students with a place to focus on particular areas of a course. To give more room for each student to practice individually, these sessions are attended by groups of approximately 15 students. There will be instructor sessions in English Linguistics 1: Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology and in Literature in English 1: Form and Genre.
Books are required for most courses at the university, and buying books for the first semester is particularly expensive as each student will have none of the required books beforehand, unlike in the following semesters where some of the books used in the first
10
semester are reused. Make sure that the ISBN numbers are consistent with those provided in the course guide for a specific course.
Introduction to Courses
English Linguistics 1: Phonetics and Phonology
This course provides the students with basic knowledge of the tools and skills required to work with the phonetic, phonological and morphological aspects of the English language.
While morphology is the study of the structure of words, phonetics and phonology deal with the different types of sound systems in the main variants of English. Students also learn to make phonetic transcriptions.
2 1/2 hours weekly
This course consists of both lectures (1 hour weekly) and seminars (1.5 hours weekly).
Additionally, instructor sessions for the course will commence week 39-47 (26/9-25/11). All of the reading materials for the course have been written by the University’s own teachers specifically for this course, and they can therefore only be purchased in Stakbogladen, but for a relatively low price compared to those required for other courses.
English Linguistics 1: Morphology, Semantics and Syntax
The aim of the course is to give students tools and skills required to work within the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic aspects of the English language. Focusing especially on the structure and creation of sentences in the English language, the course provides fundamental knowledge on various aspects of grammar, such as constituency, syntactic categories and phrases within a sentence.
2 1/2 hours weekly in both lectures (1 hour weekly) and seminars (1.5 hours weekly). The lectures provide theory, which the students are required to utilise when preparing for the seminars. In the seminars the students contribute by giving answers to exercises, which concern the theory of the previous lecture. Much of the reading for this class consists of electronic hand-outs created by the University’s own teachers. However, there are still books, which must be purchased for this course. These books can be found many different places and are also used in the second semester.
History, Society and Culture 1: Media and Culture
The aim of the course is to give students a broad understanding of various types of media throughout the English-speaking world. The students develop tools to analyse media from
11
many different perspectives. The course focuses especially on movies, and these will be categorised under genres, time periods and directors, all the while being discussed on a more technical level.
5 hours weekly through both lectures (2 hours weekly) and seminars (3 hours weekly). In preparation for these classes students read a relevant chapter (or two) in the textbook.
Given that Media and Culture focuses on movies, watching a feature film is usually a part of the homework, too. Only one book is required for this course, but because it is created specifically by teachers from the university it can only be purchased in Stakbogladen. The students are not required to purchase the different movies from the course guide, as long as they have a way of accessing the movie (DVD, WWW, etc.).
Literature in English 1: Form and Genre
The course introduces literature as an overall broad concept. As it focuses on key genres in English literatures, this course introduces the students to texts in as diverse genres as poetry, drama, short stories, novels and graphic novels. In addition, students are introduced to important issues within literary history as well as practical literary analysis.
5 hours weekly via both lectures (2 hours weekly) and seminars (3 hours weekly). The lectures will concern the text(s) representing a specific genre. The genre will be further discussed during the seminars, in which the students have a chance to discuss their own interpretations of the respective texts. For this course three Norton anthologies must be purchased and these are very expensive. However, they are also useful in future semesters and even as entertainment for pleasure. Furthermore, books on literary theory and novels not included in the anthologies must be purchased. All of these books can be found many places, both here in Stakbogladen and on the WWW.

Your tutors in their own modest word
Asta Julie Stistrup Lauritzen (3rd semester) Everyday I’m hufflin’
Hi guys! I’m looking forward to greeting you all and making you a part of the English Department. I’m 22 and a bit crazy (but I have told myself that it is in a good way). I’m the typical Harry Potter fan and fantasy fan, but generally I just love literature.
Caroline Krogholm Pedersen (3rd semester)
Trust no b****
Hello, I’m Caroline and I’m a netflixoholic. Besides binge- watching ‘Orange is the New Black’, where my sweet and lovely quote is from, I love meeting new people, drinking cold beer(s) and dancing! So I’m looking forward to meeting you all for cold beers in the Friday bar and maybe a dance?
Cindy Ida Larsen (3rd semester) Short and sweet!
Hi! My name is Cindy Larsen, and I’m on my 3rd semester. I like dancing, drinking white Russians in Esperanto, literature and phonetics. I’m supposedly very sweet and outgoing, but I tend to get hangry, and I’m not a morning person. I can’t wait to meet you!
13
Joachim Jelle (3rd semester)
Hold the door
Proudly the Game of Thrones fan who's like, "yeah, but in the books ..." Allergic to everything except beer, fun and immaturity. Ostensibly hilarious, truthfully inappropriate.
Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge are the rules for avoiding my sarcastic comments and ancient references!
Casper Dons (5th semester) Somebody stop me!
Hi y’all! My name is Casper; I’m 22 and starting my fifth semester! At the English department, I like literary theory (especially bio-culturalism and feminism!) and the
development of language. In my spare time, I love to play music! I can’t wait to meet you all! See ya soon!
Emma Elisabeth Thomsen (3rd semester)
E.T. phone home
You see that kid down in the back of the classroom doing math and mumbling equations? Yeah, that’s not me… I’m the one in the front yelling about fantasy. I mean you can’t go wrong with fantasy. What’s not to like? It’s got dragons and wizards, zombies and you know fricking hobbits! That s*** is amazing!!!
Anders Holbæk (3rd semester) It’s pure ideology!
That is a quote from Slavoj Žižek. A man equal parts Marxist philosopher, catalyst of post-ironic humour and (obvious) badass. I am Anders, by the way! I am on a noble quest to read all the classical literature I can get my hands on! I cannot wait to meet you all!
14
Kasper Emil Foldager Nielsen (5th semester) Gin Tonic Always
I’m a firm believer that there is something good in everyone, and love to play the Devil’s advocate. I enjoy cooking, silly dancing and hanging out all night in shady pubs. Oh, and talk to me about 90’s indie rock and I will go on about it forever. Also, give me red wine and I’m eternally yours. I’m not an alcoholic though. I swear.
Lene Engelst Christensen (3rd semester)
Exclamation point enthusiast!
As a typical English Major, I love almost everything British: Harry Potter, Queen, The Beatles, Jane Austen – and James Corden is a treasure! Also, if you want to talk about Game of Thrones – I am not your gal! Don’t hate me!
Line Buch (5th semester)
Hiddlestoner for life
I am a person who is very passionate about many things.
Some of my passions being baking and drawing. I love to have a good time, and if you put on some amazing
boyband music, you will find me on the dancefloor. The Friday Bar Esperanto is a place I spend many hours. Some might call it alcoholic – I call it my second home!
Louloua Maoued (3rd semester)
Full of life
I do not acquire any special skills or talents. I like different kinds of music and fashion so one day you will see me rapping along to Eminem in my baggy clothes and the next day you’ll see me sobbing to Ed Sheeran. Talk to me about food and sneakers.
15
Michelle Nissen (3rd semester) C’mon! Think positive!
Spread some joy and happiness. No, I’m not a 60’s hippie, but I like people, and I like them happy! This means you can always come to me, even if only in a need for a chat. I can talk about anything, or nothing - I’m not here to blame!
Mette Jeppesen (3rd semester)
Brøndby IF rules
Hi guys. I am studying English in order to become a
gymnasium teacher. To me, the absolutely best thing in the world, next to have become one of the tutors, is to play soccer, and I have awesome sliding tackle skills. I have memorized all of Team Rocket’s lines, I am master of telling inappropriate jokes, and I write my own poems. Cannot wait to meet you!
Mikkel Kragh Andreasen (3rd semester)
Easy as Dell
(Mel: Fresh Prince of Bel-air intro) Hi, I’m glad to meet’ya and to tell that I’m here to help’ya settle well, just listen up and be a sport
and you will hear
that we have a great program in store for you when you’ll get here
Nanett Juliane Sørensen (3rd semester)
Lovely lady lumps
Hayooo! I’m Nanett. I’m a movie enthusiast with a great love for music and black coffee, a green thumb, and a weakness for sarcasm and bad jokes.
I have a great repertoire of awkward dance moves, and I bake the best carrot cake in town.
16
Sofie Madsen (3rd semester) You’re a wizard
The proud parent of a lazy lad; my old cat A big fan of Harry Potter;
it doesn’t get any hotter Cards Against Humanity Just to prove my (in)sanity Drinking beer and wine You should get in line
For Esperanto is the place to be The bar will be your family Ninna Vestergaard Lorenzen (3rd semester) We are Groot
That tv-series you like? Yeah, chances are I’ve seen it. Or at least heard about it. And I would definitely like to talk about it with you! It would give me the chance to spew out some fun-facts that you never knew you needed to know and if we end up talking about the latest Marvel movie, then everybody wins!
Silas Lauritsen (7th semester) I am Batman
Hey y’all! I’m Silas. I’m sarcastic and my humour is quite terrible at times. I could not sing well if my life depended on it. My dance moves are something to look for on the dancefloor. I love tequila. Cannot wait to meet you all, gonna be good!
Daniel Anthony Slater (9th semester)
Cones of Dunshire
When you look at my semester, I may seem a bit of an old fart. In response I give you the wisdom of the great Karl Pilkington: ‘I don't mind getting older. I've always been older than my years anyway. My mam said I even acted old and grumpy when I was a baby’.
17
Laura Davies (5th semester)
Costumes are cool
As you might have guessed from my slightly re- dressed quote, I am a huge fan of Doctor Who.
Really anything that can be described as ‘nerdy’ will most likely be something I find awesome, and I can proudly say that I just crossed the Doctor Who experience off my bucket list!
Muki Sose (5th semester)
Made of nachos
No joke, I eat nachos at least once a day. I also love TV shows, movies, fast food, Gajol, Clasen (you’ll understand soon), and hanging out at the Friday Bar.
So come talk to me about anything and everything.
Oh, and hashtags give me life. #noshame
#apollogizelater Astrid Okholm Larsen (7th semester)
Leprechaun in Disguise
So finally the Spanish Inquisition caught up with me, and now I’m back on the English horse and ready to take you well into the wonders of Anglia. I’m always good for a chat about everything concerning Beat literature, Ireland or Roskilde Festival!
Elisabeth Gade (5th semester) Don’t hurt yourself
Hi y’all! I’m Elisabeth and I’m beginning my 5th semester here at AU. I’ve just returned from a semester abroad where I went to Centenary College of Louisiana, which was just amazing! You’ll probably hear me saying y’all and talk about gumbo a lot and at the same time persuade you to take a semester abroad – seriously it’s the bomb!
18 Niels Peter Rather (5th semester)
I like turtles!
Hello boys and girls! I love cooking and watching series. I also know tons of random stuff that I probably shouldn't know... Hit me with your best shot! Come find me in the intro-week if you dare. I swear to God, I'm actually a decent human being.
Ida Solkær (3rd semester)
Better than nothing!
I am an active, outgoing, happy person, not in an annoying way (I hope). My favorite things are meeting new people, vacations, summer, drawing, running, dancing, things with sugar in it(!) and singing (when nobody’s watching or at the dancefloor).
Cecilie Bülow Andersen (7th semester)
Get in Formation!
I'm so excited to meet y'all! But to be fair, I'm excited about everything: from syntax to flip cup. So find this sickening blond energy bomb and I'll show you why English is my favorite place in the world! Also, I woke up like this #flawless
Marie Pedersen (5th semester) Bye, Lil’ Sebastian
Let’s meet at the Friday Bar and talk about
everything from TV-series, movies, books, music, sports while playing board games and drinking beer.
That pretty much sums up a perfect day in my opinion and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.
19 Birthe Nielsen (5th semester)
I <3 pizza
I moved from Copenhagen to Aarhus right after high school to study English here and I can truly say that it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made! You can recognize me because I’m always either eating something (= pizza) or drinking alcohol. I’m the chair at Esperanto because I love beer.
Mathilde Noer (5th semester) Sharing is caring
My name is Mathilde Noer, and I’m on my 5th semester. I enjoy long walks on the beach and all that stuff…and binge-watching any Netflix show. Books, TV, and coffee are my jam! Plus, I believe that everything can be solved by just the right GIF.
Rebecca Østvand Matthiesen (7th semester)
Swag Level: Expert
Beautiful, tropical sunfishes! Welcome! My spirit animal is a bumblebee (and Karl Pilkington). I collect postcards from around the world. I love curly fries and ales, chameleons and red pandas, festivals and travelling.
Leslie Knope for president! End speech.

Your teachers in their own modest words
Jody Pennington

As you read this, you will have noticed from my accent that I come from Georgia, in the USA but have lived in Aarhus since 1987. This autumn, I will give lectures in the first-semester course, Media and Culture Studies. My research interests include representations in a variety of media and contexts, ranging from tourism in the state of Florida from the beginning of the twentieth century until today to American film and popular music. My interest in the representation of aspects of life in film is grounded in an effort to bridge the gap between our real-life experiences and the mediated versions of those experiences. I also work with contemporary American culture and society more broadly. I teach the MA courses Interdisciplinary Analysis and Cultural Industries. In my research, I have published articles and presented papers on the interconnections between race, business, and American society in the rise and decline of rock’n’roll music in the 1950s; theater and film critics’ interpretations of the representation of marriage, privacy, and concealment in the play and film adaptation of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? as well as the role of judicial review and the Constitution in shaping American national identity. I have also published The History of Sex in American Cinema (Praeger, 2007) and co-edited with Dr. Sharon Packer, the two-volume A History of Evil in Popular Culture: What Hannibal Lecter, Stephen King, and Vampires Reveal about America (Praeger, 2014). I’ve been at English since I moved here, first as a student, now as a teacher, having taught here since 1994. I return to my Southern roots most summers, which are spent in south Florida. You will be able to locate my office by following the sound of music, which plays pretty much non-stop wherever I am, except the classroom.

English has a tradition of protecting its most vulnerable students from its most venerable (that is, outdated or obsolete) teachers. So as I have the dubious honour of being English’s longest-serving staff member, 1st year BA English major and BA English tilvalg students won’t see much of me in the classroom, at least in their first semester; the same goes for new ICE recruits (who may escape my attentions altogether). Good things don’t last forever, though: in the spring of 2017 1st year BA English major and tilvalg students will surely have to endure my (American) lectures in the British, Irish and American History and Society course (pet name: ‘HSC2’). Some will also have to suffer through my star-spangled seminars too. No justice!
My current research deals with various corners of American popular music history – some obscure, others more familiar – and with dusty corners of unpopular music history too, given half a chance. My ongoing administrative responsibilities include being a member of the departmental uddannelsesudvalg, teaching team leader for History, Society and Culture, Director of the American Studies Center Aarhus (ASCA), and go-to source for sage but impractical and irrelevant advice when all other options have failed. My non work- related activities focus on being a semi-professional Englishman abroad: drinking tea, saying ‘mustn’t grumble,’ forming queues, and seeking new members for the Departmental Cricket Lovers’ Think Tank. I am told I whistle a lot; I am not whistling, I am leaking.
Inger Hunnerup Dalsgaard

I am one of the resident “Americanists”, having done a PhD in American Studies at King’s College, London, and M.I.T. I didn’t know I was going to be interested in American literature and culture above all else until I started doing my degree in
22
English at this very department decades ago, but some very engaging teachers changed my mind!
I hope to get a chance to show what is so great about studying the US. During your first year you’ll see me doing various American-themed lectures for the Literatures in English course (and one woman-themed one for the General Studies course). I also do electives on First Ladies in the USA and on Historical Romance in novels and films: you know, where pride, prejudice and even zombies occur.
It is great to be able to turn some of my research interest (hobbies even) into courses but sadly there are many things I research which rarely get an airing in the classroom (space technology and the author Thomas Pynchon e.g.). On the other hand, there are some who interject themselves perhaps too much. My little girl Marie, for instance, has a way of introducing herself into my work. When I’m not prepping for or in class with you the rest of my time is taken up by research and her.
In the name of efficiency I’ve considered making bedtime stories a research project but I’ll try to minimize the leakage to the classroom. Stop me if I try to spoon-feed you!

Stories shape human lives. We imagine ourselves as protagonists in our life-stories, we spend hours upon hours every day submerged in fictional universes, we daydream, play computer games, read novels, watch TV. When the lights go out, the body goes limp but the brain goes into hyperdrive storytelling mode. Why are stories so powerful?
And why are so many stories scary ones (from worst-case hypothetical thinking via survival horror computer games to horror films and nightmares)? Those are the kinds of questions that fuel my teaching and research. I teach a bunch of things, mainly in literature and media studies. I’ve been teaching university-level courses since 2008, when I got my MA. I did a PhD on horror stories (2009-2012), and I’m now employed as an assistant professor in literature and media. And I really love my job! Teaching as well as research can be incredibly difficult and frustrating, but also extremely rewarding. It’s a great privilege, being
23
able to study and teach what you really care about – as it is the case for most everybody else in this business, my professional interests grow out of a love for the subject, a desire to get a deeper understanding of the stuff that fascinates me. Well, in my case, maybe it’s more of a love-hate-thing. I actually don’t like watching horror movies alone, and I haven’t yet completed Amnesia: The Dark Descent (hell, I haven’t been able to find more than two pages in Slender), but please don’t tell people. So, every once in a while, remind yourself that it’s a great privilege to be able to study the stuff that you find fascinating. Don’t get lost in worries over exams and difficult jargon and thick novels and object position and the intricacies of a historical political document, but remember what brought you to this degree program in the first place. In return, we’ll do our best to help you get that deeper understanding which is one of the greatest payoffs of a university education.
Achieving that understanding will even be, at times, good fun – and, if you end up in one of my horror classes, pretty scary.

I’ve been around the AU English department studying and teaching since the glory days of the late 1980s, interrupted by a five-year stint as doctoral student at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. I come from a family of voracious readers, many of whom also happen to be teachers, so I guess that my interests run in the family.
Academically speaking I specialize in British and American literature and culture of the 19th and 20th centuries, with special emphasis on romanticism and modernism. These days I especially work within “the environmental humanities”, which means that I try to connect the study of literature, film and other cultural discourses to larger questions and concerns about environmental crisis, sustainability and climate change. Some of you will encounter me, willy-nilly, in your first- and second-semester LE1 and LE2 courses.
My favorite part of teaching is when things come together in the classroom and there’s a mutual breakthrough in understanding a tricky text or problem. My least
24
favorite part of my job is days and days on end with oral exams, especially in the summer when everyone is worn out after a long academic year. Examination in general is a pretty dirty job, and I suppose that someone has to do it – but why does it have to be me?
I pride myself on being a fairly approachable sort of person, keen to help young people try to understand the many changes taking place right now in global politics, economics and (especially) environment. Don’t assume, I generally tell them that the kind of life we’ve grown accustomed to over the last decades will continue indefinitely. Acquiring some practical skills along with your academic education, I also argue, might turn out to be a good idea.
When away from academics I hang out with my family and (heeding Voltaire’s advice) cultivate my garden in the pastoral suburbs of Risskov. In addition, I’m an avid cyclist and a fiercely competitive table tennis player, with a killer backhand and a rating currently hovering around 2100.
Teaching English at AU is mostly stimulating in a good way, but there are also moments of embarrassment. A low point in my career occurred about ten years ago, when I once wore an electronic microphone in a lecture but forgot to switch it off when going to the bathroom during the break. As it turned out this was a pretty bad idea, for those things carry their signal over long distances…

After some nomadic years in the East, I finally got tired of getting up in the middle of the night to look at the Champion’s League and decided to move back to Europe. I previously worked at the University of Bielefeld in Germany, where I got my PhD, and also had my funniest lecturing experience when a well-known local nudist suddenly entered and sat in the front row. Looking at a nude German man in his fifties solemnly taking notes on Greek tragedy, I for some reason thought I needed to run away to Denmark and now work at AU, where I teach media, literature, communications, and cultural studies. I love film and the best new TV dramas, so I really enjoy teaching their aesthetics, historical development, and
25
industrial basis. Cinema, as the first of the great electronic mass media, provides a great way to understand the connections between art, business, and mass culture.
In terms of research, I’m currently writing about transmedia storytelling and how 21st century narratives are increasingly spread across multiple media, so there are different bits of the same story in films, books, video games, comics, websites, etc. This is a bit of a change from my early work, which focused on comparative studies of tragedy in East and West. So it’s fair to say that my interests are pretty eclectic.
My favourite thing about teaching is when students respond appreciatively to films/books/cultural products they admit they would never have watched or read of their own accord. My least favourite thing is when someone says they can’t relate to anything that happened in human history before the invention of the smartphone; if we apply that principle to music, then the greatest singer of all time is Justin Bieber. You can imagine the consequences for every other art form.
When I’m not at work, I spend time at the beach or playing soccer or travelling, or combining all three somewhere in the world after the Champion’s League is over for the year. During the long Aarhus winter, I mix it up a bit by going to some of the excellent music venues around town. There’s a time and place for beach soccer, and Aarhus in December isn’t it.

Born and educated in India, I did a PhD from Copenhagen University (2001) and a DPhil from Aarhus University (2010).
I have been teaching at Aarhus since 2007 or so. My books include the poetry collections, Where Parallel Lines Meet (Penguin, 2000) and Man of Glass (HarperCollins, 2010), the studies, Babu Fictions: Alienation in Indian English Novels (Oxford University Press, 2001) and The Gothic, Postcolonialism and Otherness (Palgrave, 2010) and the novels, The Bus Stopped
26
(Picador, 2004), Filming (Picador, 2007), The Thing About Thugs (Harpercollins, 2010; Houghton Mifflin, 2012) and How to Fight Islamist Terror from the Missionary Position (Interlink and Corsair 2014). I have also edited a number of academic anthologies, such as Other Routes, an anthology of pre-modern travel texts by Africans and Asians, published by Signal Books and Indiana University Press in 2005 and 2006, and Transnational and Postcolonial Vampires (Palgrave, 2013).
Apart from academic papers, I write regularly as a reviewer and a journalist, and my articles have appeared in Indian (Hindu, Times of India, Biblio: A Review of Books, Indian Book Review, Economic Times, PEN, DNA, Telegraph, Outlook etc), British (Guardian, Financial Times, New Left Review, Wasafiri, Third Text, Independent, New Statesman, First Post, London Magazine, P.N. Review, Salt, Metre, Thumbscrew, Stand etc), Danish (Information, Politiken, Weekendavisen etc), American, German, Italian, South African, Chinese and other publications. I see my teaching as connected to my research, and my activities as a writer and a thinking/caring/involved human being. I strongly believe that a good teacher does not provide easy answers but encourages the student to ask difficult questions.

I moved to Aarhus in 1993 to play the bass in a death metal band. I started my academic career in 1996 when I – more or less by coincidence – started studying linguistics at AU.
In 1998, Sten Vikner (who was then employed in Stuttgart, Germany) was a visiting professor at linguistics. He
introduced me to Steven Pinker’s book The Language Instinct and to the wonders of generative grammar, and since then I’ve had a keen interest in syntax and the human mind and brain. I’ve been at the English department since 2002.
My research revolves around the structure of language (syntax) and how it is interpreted or misinterpreted in our brains. To do so, I conduct various experiments using computers and brain scanners. Furthermore, I do research into how language
27
interacts with and influences the way we think, and into the evolutionary processes that gave rise to the unique capacity for language in the human species.
As a teacher I aim to be dedicated, patient and creative as well as structured and organised. I find it particularly rewarding when my own enthusiasm rubs off on the students, and the ‘aha moments’ when students suddenly understand that what I’m teaching actually makes sense.
You may encounter me in Advanced Syntax and perhaps later in courses such as Language and Cognition, Evaluating Evidence, or elective courses on language and the brain.
Dominic Rainsford
Link: pure.au.dk/portal/da/dominic.rainsford@cc.au.dk Like a lot of people, I’m interested in the world and my place in it. I like the scientific process of discovering facts (I originally planned to do chemistry at university), but I’m even more interested in the meaning and consequences of different ways of existing and perceiving - which means, for me, that literature and philosophy are the fundamental subjects. I got myself a job as a university lecturer so that I could have the opportunity to think about these things full time; to read books; and to write them. Sometimes you make most progress by thinking by yourself; at other times, it’s best to discuss ideas with other people. Teaching is part of that. If both the teacher and the student are interested and actively involved in what’s going on, both can learn.
We’re not teachers in the way that your schoolteachers were: the university is a place where knowledge is made, not just disseminated. Similarly, you’re not students in the same way you were at gymnasium: what you learn, and what you do with it, is now much more up to you. The Danish university system is pretty easy- going; it lets you carry on being a kid until you’re in your late twenties, if that’s what
28
you want (followed by a few years of harsh reality and then retirement). On the other hand, you can take advantage of the situation, ask questions, form opinions, stuff your brain with knowledge, and equip yourself for an effective, useful, and (maybe) happy life. So, keep asking yourself why you’re here. If you find that you’re drifting onto Facebook regularly during lectures and seminars, it would almost certainly be best for you, us, and your fellow students if you found something else to do, while your brain and body are still in working order. But if you think that the university is the right place, but isn’t giving you what you need, you should tell us.
All sorts of extremely ridiculous and utterly mortifying things have almost certainly happened during my teaching, over the last quarter century. I find, however, that the only way to carry on with the job (or live, at all) is to repress the memory of such events completely ... a process that I have no intention of even beginning to mess with now.

Some time ago in the last millennium, I started to study English and Geography to become a high school teacher. I had no idea whether I actually could stand in front of a class without shaking, trembling, and making a complete fool of myself, but a one-year stint as a Foreign Language Assistant at an English grammar school convinced me that I could survive as a teacher. After my MA (at Kiel University), I was offered a position, which allowed me to work on my PhD whenever a fairly heavy teaching allowed me to do that.
Since me PhD student time, I have taught all kind of courses in English Linguistics.
For reasons that are completely obvious for me (but not necessarily everyone else), I found it most interesting and rewarding to teach and do research on how language is represented in our minds, how language develops over time, how we learn our first and second languages, and on the sounds of language.
The most favorite aspects of my job are to conduct research and to teach in just these fields, primarily in psycholinguistics, language learning, bilingualism, and phonetics. The best part about teaching is when I can convince students that it is
29
worthwhile to keep their brains busy with all the truly exciting findings and questions regarding language and the mind, how language gets into the mind, how two (or more) language coexist in the mind, and with the sounds of language. – The least favorite aspect of my job: No comment, my view is just like the Andrew Sisters’:
Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative!
My word of wisdom for all students (not just for students): Being an ethnic Frisian, I am very fond of our motto Rüm hart, klaar kiming. Look it up if you can, it has something to do with open-mindedness.
My funniest teaching experience? Quite a few funny ones, some of them actually somewhat embarrassing. The most embarrassing ones I will only tell if bribed with a bottle of excellent beer. Here’s a mildly amusing one: At the start of the semester, I entered a classroom, started rambling for more than 10 minutes in front of some deviously grinning students, when the “real” teacher came in and I had to realize I had been preaching to the wrong choir.

My first teaching experience was in September 1991, teaching a class of laid-off coalminers in Southwest, Virginia. They were a remarkable group. Largely self- educated, they were highly motivated to improve their skills during a downturn in the local coal economy. They were bright and keen to find out what this twenty- something college grad with far less life experience could teach them. One of the most outstanding things I remember about them was their respect. They were respectful not only of me but of each other. Years of working in close, confined spaces under hazardous conditions had taught them to hold together as a team. They joked and teased, and unfailingly brought things to the level they deserved, but underlying everything they did was a support for each other that I have rarely seen before or since. This first class taught me my first lesson in teaching: teaching is learning. To design a class is to design a set of questions to explore. The material—in my case, the literature—is the means through which we might be able to find some answers. Since then I have taught in
30
Japan, the UK and now in Denmark. Before coming to Aarhus, I taught at Cardiff University in Wales, before that in Lancaster University in the north of England, and before that I taught sixth-form for seven years, the British equivalent of gymnasium.
Moving from the secondary to the university sector was important to my teaching because it coincides with the moment I really became a student. I’m a pretty difficult student. I’m impatient, irreverent of authority and the usual list of truculent behaviours. Working on my PhD was the moment I finally realized that being a student depended upon me. I was responsible for the questions I was pursuing. I collaborated with everyone I could, fellow students, other teachers and scholars at my university and further afield. They all had something to teach me. But, I was finding the answers because no one had asked these questions before, or asked them in quite the same way. My teachers were amazing, but it all came down to me.
It was daunting, frustrating, bewildering, and in the end the most fantastic thing I have ever done. So, for me, teaching at Aarhus University is a chance to bring those experiences together. My research guides the questions I explore with my students. My teaching is an invitation for them to explore with me and I structure my classes to encourage the kind of mutual cooperation I saw back in 1991. It is a pleasure and privilege to learn with you. Come learn with me.

I came to AU in February 2001, after 10 years at the University of Stuttgart, and before that I was at the University of Geneva for 6 years. I have a BA and an MA in English from the University of Copenhagen, and an MA in Linguistics from University College London.
I teach English linguistics, in particular syntax (= the structure of sentences), and all first year students have to spend a fair amount of time in my company, as I am the one giving the lectures in the Morphology, Semantics and Syntax part of the course English Linguistics 1.
31
My research is about how and why word order can vary so much (or sometimes so little) between English and e.g. Danish, or German, or Faroese, or other Germanic or Romance languages. It therefore also happens that my teaching touches on these other languages.
In my opinion, the study of languages and the differences between them is very interesting, not just because speaking different languages is great and incredibly convenient (do you remember the feeling the first time you were able to connect with people through a foreign language?), but also because it is an excellent way to learn more about the human brain and what it can and cannot do.
As a researcher and a teacher, the moments I like best most are when I or my colleagues or students are able to make new connections between facts we already knew but had not connected before.

I am a rather new (well, compared to Dale) arrival to Aarhus University, starting here in the English Department in the Fall of 2009, but I have been living in and about Denmark for some years now. Originally from Southern California, I studied and taught in various places in the US and Italy before settling here in the North. My research areas are rather broad, based a bit on my roundabout education (which includes degrees in Philosophy and Italian Studies), and include European Romanticism, The Novel, Fan Studies, Sci-Fi, Detective Fiction, Fantasy, and, my current long-term project, Postmodernism. I will be teaching various courses this Fall, in Literature, Adaptation, Fan Culture, and you might see me in other contexts as well. I spend much of my time (and energy) chasing after my 5 year old son (Tristan) and my nearly eight year old daughter (Philippa) with my wife Maria and nearly the rest with my nose in a book (fancy that, liking books and teaching literature). So, if you see me around, on the bus, in a café (it happens
32
occasionally), or walking down the street (reading, naturally), by all means say hej (please, you could keep me from getting hit by a bus).

A few years ago, I acquired my PhD from AU, which centered on the sexuality of the divided self in Anglo- American literature and film, probing the oddity of why doubles are capable of striking a peculiar resonance of the heebie jeebies seeing that they look exactly like you (unless you already have an infelicitous look of misgiving, of course)? And asking questions such as why pre-20th- century doubles are always male? Geez. Why will they have no truck with women?
tsk tsk. And might these questions be related? My current research explores the new sexual articulations of mothers and older women as well as the blurring of age- differentiated sexualities across the spectrum of twenty-first-century popular culture.
I examine things such as the ways in which dynamic biological processes (e.g., age, health, reproduction, and menopause) interact with sociocultural organizations of sexual norms, what socio-historical powers shape these female sexualities together with their own shaping powers through the social fantasies and cultural work they perform.
I carry my research interests into the classroom whenever I can, and it is my love of learning, literature, and drive for intellectual discovery and growth that I bring to my teaching, in which I endeavor to cultivate and gratify inquiring minds, including my own. You’ll most likely encounter me in the Literatures in English course, or perhaps in another literature and/or media elective featuring milfs, cougars, and other quirky cultural phenomena. Like Ocke (see above), I can also be bribed (insertion of evil laugh here) with any alcoholic beverage surpassing Harboe. I’ll nevertheless confess my most embarrassing teaching experience, which must be when I taught at AU for the very first time inadvertently yet moderately inebriated to temper my jittery nerves. I can guarantee, however, that I’ll teach you in a fully sober state. So
33
if I impose bungling jokes on you that occasion, sigh, tumbleweed moments in class, unfortunately, it’s not because I’m liquored up – it’s just me.

On Twitter (@SaraDybris), I describe myself as
‘Interested in history and politics. Passionate about Northern Ireland and fashion. Follows Arsenal from a comfortable position’. But perhaps a few more words are in order here:
I am the head of the Centre for Irish Studies at Aarhus University (and indeed its arms and legs…). I teach courses at various levels on topics in British and Irish history, culture and society. My research is broadly on different drivers of peace and conflict and more specifically on the conflict in Northern Ireland, so the electives I offer sometimes tilt in those directions. As part of a research group, I received money from the Strategic Research Council in 2013 to propose alternatives to warfare in resolving international conflicts. The project concludes in late 2016, but it’s fair to say that some work remains to be done for world peace… My contribution to the project has been to develop a strand of research on the role of collective memory both as a conflict driver and a conflict transformer. Basically, this means charting cognitive, cultural and physical maps of historical conflict and asking how they might be redrawn. So much of what I do is study the ways in which collectives remember and commemorate the violent past through different media and rituals, from online oral history archives to violent parades. I always aim to engage my students in the unfolding of my research, and most recently I brought a group of MA students to Dublin to study the centenary commemorations of the Easter Rising in Spring 2016. I came to the English department in 2010 after having worked in fashion, dance and journalism for 10 years (with time off to do a PhD in contemporary Irish Political History at Queen’s University, Belfast) and I thoroughly enjoy working and teaching in the interdisciplinary hub that Aarhus University is becoming. I commute from Copenhagen, where I live with my husband and our two children.

I graduated from Aarhus University in 2012 and I haven’t been able to leave the place since. I tried, once, but it only lasted a semester. As a student I was absolutely certain that I was never ever going to become a teacher (like my mother), and nothing could change my mind, but my mind ended up being changed, and I found out that I really enjoy teaching.
I’m interested in all kinds of linguistics, but my main areas of interest are language change and language, and I teach various linguistic courses. I love to look at how English has evolved and how it is still changing – who is leading the change, can it be stopped, and why “She might could do it” is a perfectly fine sentence for some speakers of English.
I have always been interested in English and especially have the language works ad teaching here has made it possible for me to work with the things that interest me the most.

Organisations at Department of English
Anglia – Kultur- og fagudvalg
Current President: Krestina Vendelbo Anglia is the voice of the students, and you can contact us if there’s anything in your student life, which hasn’t met your expectations or something you disagree with. You can discuss anything with Anglia and if we’re not able to change it ourselves we’ll forward it to someone who can. Also, if you have any
suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact us. Besides that, Anglia is also in charge of throwing the parties that are not Friday bars, such as the Christmas party (December 2nd this year), “hyggeaftener” during the week, and the Revy in April.
Meetings are held every other Wednesday and will be announced on Blackboard and Facebook, and they always include plenty of coffee and delicious cake. It’s always great fun and an amazing opportunity to put your touch on the fabulous life here at the faculty of English!
UN – uddannelsesnævn
Current student members: Astrid Harboe Odgaard, Sanne Overgaard Larsen, Daniel Anthony Slather & Cecilie Bülow Andersen
Current Alternates: Krestina Vendelbo, Mads Rathleff Jensen, Christine Mader, Birthe Nielsen
Teachers: Johanna Wood, Jody Pennington, Dale Carter and Dominic Rainsford The UN or Uddannelsesnævn at English is the place where decisions are made which have to do with the English Department, and we meet once a month. Sometimes decisions are forced upon us from above (from the ministry or the dean), and sometimes they come from you, the students. Our job is to try and implement the ideas from above in the best possible way and find solutions to the problems you have and thereby constantly try to improve the educational side at English.
36
Who are we? The UN consists of four elected student representatives (and currently four alternates), four VIPs (Videnskabeligt Personale) aka your teachers and some TAPs (Teknisk Administrativt Personale) among others your student counsellors.
What else? If you have a problem with an exam form, a specific course etc. let us know or contact Anglia, because we are always present at Anglia meeting.
Board of Students (Studienævnet)
Current student representative: Astrid Harboe Odgaard
SN or Studienævn represents the Department at IKK (Institut for Kommunikation og Kultur). There is one student and one teacher from each UN and meet once a month. At SN, we discuss various issues that are relevant on university, department and UN level.
We therefore discuss very diverse topics and make decisions on things such as exams, academic regulations, teaching etc.
What else? As a student member of SN you are also involved in FU (Forretnings Udvalget) where students’ dispensation cases are determined. But do not worry we are not allowed to discuss cases!
If you have any questions about SN or UN or how to become a member you can contact Astrid Harboe Odgaard on Facebook
(https://www.facebook.com/astrid.odgaard?fref=ts) or Black Board
ELS – English Lecture Society Current president: Mathilde Noer The English Lecture society is a student- run organisation that organises guest- lectures and presentations for all students studying English. The organisation is frequently referred to as
ELS so do not fret if you suddenly hear or read that shortening. The lecturers may be professors from the Department of English, professors at other programmes of AU,
37
perhaps professors from foreign universities, or even other students with something to say. ELS thereby functions both as a way for students to keep up to date with what their own professors are currently researching, and as a way to find out what is happening in the wide world of research. The events are very low key, relaxed and good fun. If you want to become a member of ELS and help us organise lectures, please feel free to contact the president or keep your eyes open on Black Board or join us on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/ELS.AarhusUni?fref=ts
The Penguin Book Club Current president: Mette Hviid-Vyff
The Penguin Book Club is a book club created and run by students at Aarhus University.
The book club has meetings 4 times during a semester,
discussing books in a relaxed manner. The books are determined at the end of each semester, where the members suggest and vote for books they’d like to read! So if you also have a weakness for books, the Penguin Book Club is a great opportunity to meet up with other enthusiasts, as well as practice your English. We try to have some discussion points for each meeting, semi-analysing the books, but not to the same extend as one does in class.
At the meetings we usually drink coffee and tea, and occasionally someone brings cake.
You can become a member of the book club simply by turning up at our meetings, which are announced through Facebook - but membership doesn’t require much commitment, as you should not feel obligated to attend all the meetings each semester!
Feel free to join us on our Facebook page ’The Penguin Book Club':

English Writing Society
Current president: Thomas Kristjansen
The English Writing Society is the English Department’s very own monthly magazine.
We're run exclusively by students with funding from Esperanto and Anglia which has
38
recently allowed us to expand from being solely web based to also having a print edition.
We're a broad publication, covering reviews, articles, opinion pieces, short stories, poems, interviews – if it's in English, we want it. And that's one way you can contribute to the English Writing Society: just writing. You can even do it anonymously or use a pseudonym.
Another way is to become part of the organization, and help edit, upload, or maybe do layout for the print edition.
Contact info update here Humbug
Humbug is the team who represent the students from ARTS in the annual Kapsejlads, which takes place every year during the spring. Humbug consists of students from English, Spanish and other departments. Being a part of the team means that you will get close to people from other departments than your own and is a great way of socializing! The people from Humbug’s skills consist of fast rowing and even faster beer drinking - so if you know how to row a boat and chug a beer, this might be just the community for you!
Esperanto Friday Bar
Current president: Birthe Nielsen Esperanto is a
place you will likely come to love. A place to play games,
laugh and perhaps drink a few beers. It is the Friday bar of your dreams. The perfect place to chill out with your friends after a busy university week - or at least we think so! We represent the university’s different language faculties so meeting new friends from other places is quite possible too! And becoming a member of the bar committee is easy. Just turn up to our weekly meeting to see what we are all about and if you feel up for it, you can have a go at being behind the bar. Being a member is a great way to make friends across the year groups at English but also across the different faculties. We are open almost every Friday and we are famously known for our many and inventive themed bars. Plus, we make a killer White Russian.
39
We can’t wait to meet you all!!
