Lars Eckstein
Lars Eckstein (* 1975) is a German scholar of cultural and literary studies.
Education and Career[edit]
Eckstein completed his PhD on the work of memory in Caribbean and Afro-American literatures on the Atlantic slave trade in 2004, and a postdoctoral degree on song lyrics in 2008, both at the University of Tübingen. He is Professor for Anglophone Literatures and Cultures outside of Great Britain and the US at University of Potsdam (since 2009).[1]
He has written and published works on postcolonial (media) piracy, on German-Australian colonial entanglements, and a whole range of other literary and cultural phenomena from across the globe. In recent years, his research has focused on the figure of Tupaia,[2] a Polynesian master navigator who joined the crew of Captain James Cook on his first voyage to the South Seas.[3][4][5][6][7]
Lars Eckstein was Vice President of GAPS (Association for Anglophone Postcolonial Studies) between 2012 and 2015. Together with Dirk Wiemann, he is spokesperson of the Research Training Group (DFG Graduiertenkolleg) minor cosmopolitanisms, a programme mainly focussing on PhD training conducted in close collaboration with partners in South Africa, India, Australia and North America.[8][9]
