English Department - University of Groningen

Founded in 1876, we are the oldest English department in the Netherlands. Our BA course has been ranked top in the country for the last nine years.

@Elizastudying @SebSobecki @FacultyofArtsUG @univgroningen No, this is a new position, shared between the medieval and modern literature chairs.

[Faculty of Arts - University of Groningen @FacultyofArtsUG]

Ten BA degree programmes receive the #TopProgmamme quality label! Five of which from the Faculty of Arts: Archaeology, English Language and Culture, Greek and Latin Language and Culture, American Studies, Minorities & Multilingualism! 👏🎉 @RUGEnglish @minoritiesNL @Am_Studies

@holland_tom @RUGEnglish had a great set up where I prerecorded the lecture and the scheduled hour for the lecture became a Q&A with the students about the content. Prerecorded lectures don’t have to be dead entities. This headline is also, as people have commented, so misleading.

A fantastic job opening at @RUGEnglish ! This is a post where you will be treated well and compensated properly for your work. Applications closing soon! https://t.co/6itZws6qBO

Interesting interview with @RUGEnglish alum Anne-Mette Hermans @MetteHermans (my first student assistant, now lecturer at Erasmus Uni R'dam) about her research into the self-presentation of the cosmetic surgery industry. (Unfortunately paywalled though.)

This also means my time at @RUGEnglish is very sadly coming to an end - I can only recommend them absolutely wholeheartedly. What a kind, academically rigorous, supportive community there is at Groningen.

Another thrilling hour reading Sir Gawain and the Green Knight at @RUGEnglish ! Enjoyed reading the description of the "big green ogre" entering the court. (Un)fortunately, in this day and age, that kind of description only invites Shrek comments
