Recently, I have co-organized (with Astrid Fellner, Vienna, and Tim Conley, Peoria, IL) a collaboration with Bradley University (Peoria, IL, USA). Started in 2001 by Tim Conley and Kurt Mayer, this ongoing collaboration has produced two student excursions to the U.S.A. and two collaborative classes taught at the University of Vienna. These projects have been kindly supported by the Department of English and American Studies, the University of Vienna, the International Programs Office at Bradley University, and the U.S. Embassy in Vienna. More classes are planned--in 2009, we will organize a three-way cooperation with the University of Vienna, Bradley University, and Stanford University. Click below for more information:

Two of his projects I have contributed to (some content, some web design) are:
