The Department is pleased to offer again a series of intensive courses in the autumn semester 2018. These courses are taught by leading experts in the field, most of them from prestigious international institutions. These courses are usually taught en bloc, i.e. you have to make yourself available for two 90-minute classes per day, usually Monday to Friday. You will get credits (if you pass the requirements, of course), as is usual in our regular courses.
The Czech-written, modest complement to English or Czenglish about pronunciation, featuring the voices of Nikki Fořtová and Jeff Vanderziel, is out, though temporarily out of stock in Brno's bookshops.
Our first episode in the 2026/2027 academic year finds Don Sparling speaking with Dr Octavian More, the current President of the Central European Association for Canadian Studies, about his personal discovery of Canadian literature and the international Canadian Studies community, his experience in “teaching Canada”, and his own current work focused on the concept of “transcorporeality” – that the human body isn’t separate from the environment, but deeply interconnected with it – and why it has an important place in Canadian poetry and Canadian literature in general.
