Teaching


(go down for complete list of classes)

In the seminar “Interview with the Vampires” we explore the cultural history of the vampiric, e.g. the differences between the folkloric and the literary vampires and the adaptations and many versions of Stoker’s Dracula and Rices’ Vampire Chronicles. And we make interviews with Vampires and Vampire experts and produce a radio show with our findings.

Also, we visited Christoph Wiesmayr at his “Klimaoase” which really is an oasis in the midst of the industrial area in Linz

The students of my seminar “Solarpunk and other Science Fiction Futures” (wintersemester 23/24) have created a beautiful riso printed Zine containing their manyfold ideas and imaginaries about solarpunk. More details here. (also we built a solar oven with the great Irene Lucas!)
