Expanding Horizons

I have always valued the variety of course options we had as students at the English Department at Aarhus University. When I enrolled in 1989 I thought it was marvellous to be given a chance to lose myself in a particular time, place and situation through subjects like 'Drama in the Elizabethan and Jacobean Period', 'America in the Great Depression' or 'Introduction to Caribbean Literature'. By the time we became postgraduate students most of us had come to specialize in one direction or another, and my interests had clearly developed within the field of postcolonial literature.
