Visiting Scholars
The North American Studies Program could neither do what it does nor be what it is without the engagement
of US-American and Canadian visiting professors and scholars. Since 1990 we have welcomed more than 30
visitors who have taught and lectured in Bonn for a semester or an entire year. The Program has benefited
much from this cooperation and from the expertise, teaching skills, enthusiasm, and continuing friendship
of our guests.
Our current visiting professor is Andrew Pendakis (Department of English and Cultural Studies, McMaster University, Canada).
Among those who have
visited us in the past are Katherine Verhagen (Department of English, University of Toronto), Timothy Kaposy (Cultural Studies, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia), Mark McCutcheon (Literary and Theatre Studies,
University of Guelph), Peter Hay (Law, Emory University), John Hellmann
(American Studies, Ohio State University), George Hutchinson (American Literature, University of Indiana),
Anne Firor Scott (History, Duke University), Elliott Shore (History, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton),
Paul Ashdown (Media & Communication, University of Tennessee), David G. Haglund
(Political Science, Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario), Eva-Marie Kröller
(Department of English, University of British Columbia), Hamilton Cravens (History, Iowa State University),
Susan V. Donaldson (American Literature, College of William and Mary), Steven Hoelscher
(American Studies, University of Texas at Austin), and John Gates
(Native American and Legal Studies, University of New Mexico).
