Professor Mark Stein is the Chair of English, Postcolonial and Media Studies at the University of Münster, a position he took up in 2006. He also runs the National and Transnational Studies programme (MA NTS). For information in German, click here.

Background and expertise

As a German critic, writer, and academic, he has specialised in Black British and British Asian Writing, Caribbean Literature, Zimbabwean Literature, Critical Theory, Diaspora Studies, and Postcolonial Studies. Book length work is listed below.

Since publishing Black British Literature: Novels of Transformation in 2004, he has focussed primarily on postcolonial and diaspora studies, with a particular interest in porosity, translocation, and processes of cultural transformation in anglophone cultural production. Aiming to historicise and contextualise this first field of inquiry, while also stretching its boundaries, he returns to this area with his latest publication, The Cambridge History of Black and Asian British Writing (CUP 2020, co-ed. with Susheila Nasta: bit.do/CaHiBABW).

He holds and has held various positions in different contexts, some of which include:

Before joining Uni Münster, from 2002 to 2006, he was Junior Professor for Theories of non-European Literatures and Cultures at the University of Potsdam. Mark Stein grew up in Cologne and Los Angeles, and has read English Studies, American Studies, and Political Sciences in Frankfurt/M, Oxford, and Warwick. While researching his PhD dissertation in the 1990s, he was attached to the University of Kent at Canterbury, working with Professor Lyn Innes, and the Goethe University, Frankfurt/M., working with Professor Dieter Riemenschneider.
