Eike Kronshage (he, him) (pronunciation of my name).
After spending many years as an assistant professor at the Chair of English Literature at Chemnitz University of Technology, he has transitioned to a new role as a high school teacher. With a background in academia, he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his teaching. Despite facing new challenges, he is excited to share his passion for literature with his students and help them develop their own love for learning.
His educational background includes an MA in Comparative Literature and Philosophy from the Free University Berlin (2008), a PhD in English Studies from the Friedrich Schlegel Graduate School of Literary Studies at the Free University Berlin (2014), and a Master of Education in English and Ethics from the Humboldt University of Berlin (2021). With his extensive academic training and expertise, he is equipped to provide his students with a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.
In addition to this, he has also studied English and Comparative Literature at renowned institutions such as Yale University, the University of Cambridge, the University of Copenhagen, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Freie Universität Berlin, and Humboldt-Universität Berlin. He received his PhD from the Friedrich Schlegel Graduate School of Literary Studies as part of the prestigious German Excellence Initiative program. His diverse educational experiences have enriched his understanding of language, literature, and culture, and he is excited to share this knowledge with his students.
He is also a published author, with his monograph Vision and Character: Physiognomics and the English Realist Novel being released by Routledge in 2018, and edited volumes on different topics being published by, among others, De Gruyter and Wissenschaftlicher Verlag Trier.
You can stay updated with Eike's work by following him on academia.edu or on Twitter. Additionally, he enjoys writing more casually on his blogs, where he shares his thoughts on literature at literaturen.net, and provides insights into the films of Alfred Hitchcock at hitchcock22.blogspot.com. These platforms allow him to engage with a wider audience and share his love of literature and film with others.
