Please note: We would like to continue the programme also under digital conditions - depending, of course, on the possibilities of the lecturers. If you are interested, please contact us by March 15 at teaching.centre.
There will be two basic workshops at the GCSC, whose participation is recommended:
- 28.04.2022, 9-13 Michael Basseler: Designing a Course Syllabus
- 05.05.2022, 9-13 Katharina Stornig: Designing a Course Session
For an introduction to digital teaching and the tools available at JLU, we recommend these workshops of the HDM:
-
11.-25.03.2022, E-Learning Basics Link
-
11.-18.02.2022, Didaktische Gestaltung hybrider Lehr-Lernszenarien Link
Teaching Portfolio
- Teaching Portfolio
-
In your GCSC teaching portfolio, you will collect all proofs of teaching activities, credentials and certificates from higher education teacher training and further education, as well as a subjective component consisting of your reflections on your own teaching principles and what you wish to see in education. In your applications here and beyond the purview of the university – on the job market, for instance – the portfolio will serve as proof of your rigorous qualifications in all areas of teaching and imparting knowledge.
The tradition, begun in the Anglo-American diaspora, of providing documentation of pedagogical qualifications when applying for employment, is now increasingly common in Germany. The quality of your teaching portfolio will be ensured by a final certification from the Teaching Centre itself.
Do you have questions about the GCSC teaching portfolios? Drop us a line: Teaching.Centre! You'll also find select literature on putting together a teaching portfolio under the category for documentation of teacher competency/teaching portfolios in our tertiary teaching-training bibliography.

IPP Workshop Series
- IPP Workshop Series
-
The IPP Workshop Series offers IPP and GCSC members the opportunity to lead a workshop on current concepts and methods in the Study of culture.
The aim of the workshop series is to create an interactive discussion group for doctoral candidates and students. The topics can range from general introductions to various "schools" of literary and cultural theory to concepts, methods and topics of literary and cultural theory.
The workshops always take place in the winter semester. They are coordinated by the IPP, whose mailing list is also used for the announcement.

STIBET
- Teaching Assistantships (STIBET)
-
Together with JLU’s International Office, the GCSC has secured funds for teaching assistantships from the STIBET program of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). If you are an international GGK member, not employed at JLU and would like to gain teaching experience in the German university system, please apply by March 1, 2022.
STIBET teaching assistants plan and design their own workshops for their peers and gain valuable teaching experience.
The current pandemic situation also requires creative solutions for teaching. The STIBET programme is ideally suited for testing and exploring digital teaching methods. The Teaching Centre will support you during the preparation and you will discuss your teaching concept in a preparatory workshop. However, you will be responsible for the technical realizations.
Here you will find contact persons and tips for digital teaching scenarios:

AG "Lehre / Corona": https://www.uni-giessen.de/org/admin/stab/stl/lehre/corona/index_html
After the teaching phase you will receive feedback from the participants of your course, a certificate of successful completion of the programme, and an honorarium. Your workshop should take place between April 20 - July 15, 2022 (for the summer term) or October 9 - December 9, 2022 (for the winter term).
A tip for designing your teaching project:
Think about the skills and expertise you are bringing to the GCSC. Some of those skills might be interesting for other (post-)doctoral researchers or for MA students on their way to planning a PhD. For your project description you might want to think about what you have already learned from other researchers that you can now pass on: concepts you found particularly useful that are relevant in other disciplines as well; research approaches and theoretical frameworks familiar to you that others might struggle with; methods of organizing, structuring, or managing one’s research that have helped you, etc.
The selection will be based on the following criteria:
- Coherence of the suggested teaching project
- Feasibility and practicability
- Target group orientation
Please note that participation in the preparatory workshop (taking place on April 19th, 10am-3pm) and a short session on organizational matters (on April 21st, 10-11am) is mandatory.
To apply, please fill out the application form by March 1, 2022. Please upload your event description as a single PDF file (max. 2000 words). Please note that only complete applications can be considered.

Doctoral Student Lectures
- Doctoral Student Lectures
-
These talks by enthusiastic researchers provided our students with a concise, practical overview of the main areas of each field that can be taken to the classroom or the exam, allowing our students to benefit from the high-level scholarly activities at the GCSC. At the same time, the lecture itself gave doctoral students the chance to garner an essential higher-education qualification, an initial foray into preparing and delivering a substantial speech.
Alongside specialized mentorship from higher-education instructors from each subject area, the GCSC's Teaching Centre gave doctoral students intensive coaching on presentation and speech strategies, and supported all aspects of a successful talk.Innovative scholarship is an important contribution to teaching and can enrich cultural-studies fields.
