For the last five years, I have been able to infect a number of our Utrecht University literature students, at BA and RMA levels, with enthusiasm for research on utopia and dystopia, with a focus on Transcultural Utopia. You will find details about some of the work I supervised under the blogpost\u00a0The New Utopians: Humanities Honours Research Seminar project<\/p>\n
At my suggestion, the wonderful New Utopians also published summaries and extracts from some of this other research I had supervised. See, for example, on\u00a0http:\/\/thenewutopians.wordpress.com<\/p>\n
-Maaike Zoelman,\u00a0The Foundation and Building Blocks of Modern Young Adult Dystopian Worlds: Narratology, Appropriation, and the Evolution of a Literary Genre.<\/p>\n
Maaike is now a doctoral student at University of Hull.<\/p>\n
-Marloes de Vogel,\u00a0Iain M. Banks\u2019 Excession<\/em> and Surface Detail<\/em>: Science Fiction, Utopia, and Gender.<\/p>\n While this is a summary of Marloes’ BA thesis, she is continuing to pursue her interest in science, feminism, and utopia across borders in the RMA in Comparative Literary Studies.<\/p>\n -Eveline de Smalen,\u00a0\u201cEurope Is Absent\u201d: Iceland as the Happy Place in Morris and Auden.<\/p>\n Eveline is now a doctoral student in the Environmental Humanities at LMU Munich.<\/p>\n -Gry Ulstein,\u00a0In Search of the Universal Utopia.<\/p>\n Gry completed the Utrecht RMA in Comparative Literary Studies, edited the journal Frame<\/em>, and currently works for Rosi Braidotti in Utrecht.<\/p>\n -You will find posts on the theses or extended essays of several other UU students also on thenewutopians.wordpress.com .<\/p>\n -Laurence Schaack, Martijn Gils, Leonie Brasser, and Alice Lambert are now taking Masterclasses on Transcultural Utopia under my supervision, under the RMA in Comparative Literary Studies. Stay tuned for more.<\/p>\n In 2018, I have been asked to offer a day-long Masterclass on Transcultural Utopia under the aegis of the Onderzoekschool Literatuurwetenschap, the Dutch Literary Studies School, bringing together the various \u00a0advanced graduate programmes \u00a0in Literary Studies in the country.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the last five years, I have been able to infect a number of our Utrecht University literature students, at BA and RMA levels, with enthusiasm for research on utopia and dystopia, with a focus on Transcultural Utopia.
