PD Dr. Simone Broders steps in for PD Dr. Nora Pleßke
The department of Anglophone Studies is pleased to welcome a new member to the team as of 17 April 2023. PD Dr. Simone Broders (formerly Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg) will step in for PD Dr. Nora Pleßke as a lecturer at the department in the summer and winter semesters of 2022/23, as Nora Pleßke will take over a stand-in professorship. Simone Broders offers exciting seminar topics and looks forward to many students in her courses. Her areas of expertise are diverse and highly interesting for our Cultural Engineering degree programme. She works, for example, on the topic Limits of Knowledge - Knowledge of Limits and on the history of ideas of curiosity. In doing so, she repeatedly builds bridges between cultural studies approaches and brain research, computer science, medicine and information science.
