Community

The concept of community is central to ASL. By community we mean openness, communication, and interaction with as little hierarchy as possible. Community is meant to encourage a vital learning culture and empower the pursuit of individual goals.

Cooperations

ASL regularly cooperates with a number of other institutions for teaching and research purposes, but also to reach out to the wider public in order to facilitate a broader dialog about the United States and its place in the world.

Picador Guest Professorship for Literature

The Picador Professorship for Literature is unique in Germany. It brings leading young writers of English-language literature to Leipzig and Mitteldeutschland, thereby providing students with a chance to work with 'practitioners' of literature.
