Projects & Major Collaborations
2024 (ongoing): Special Issue of American Studies in Scandinavia: “Transnational Literature in America: Where Do We Stand Twenty Years After Fishkin’s Transnational Turn?” | Guest editor: Tijana Przulj
This special issue sets out to explore fresh figurations of transnational literature and aesthetics in works of fiction about America or those produced therein, and offer new perspectives on the entanglements of transnational experience and the American society at large without reducing the notion of transnational to a symbolic moniker for the various consequences of the American geopolitical position. https://rauli.cbs.dk/index.php/assc/article/view/7181/7471
2022 (ongoing) | Video project “Fra auditorium til klasserom” | Project leaders: Dr. Sigrid Ørevik, Mari Lund Eide, Tijana Przulj
The project aims to facilitate better integration of knowledge and skills pertaining to discipline subjects and didactics. It is primarily aimed at the students of teacher education who have English as their first or second teaching subjectS
