Anglistik und Amerikanistik zeichneten ihre Top-AbsolventInnen aus

Die „Top Five“ der AbsolventInnen aus Anglistik und Amerikanistik des vergangenen Studienjahres wurden am 25. November 2014 an der Uni Graz ausgezeichnet. Über den „Excellence in English and American Studies Award“, der in festlichem Rahmen im Meerscheinschlössl überreicht wurde, konnten sich Mag. Judith Brand, Mag. Katharina Laher, Mag. Peter Mittersteiner, Isabella Steyer, M.A., und Mag. Katharina Stöttinger freuen.

 

Die seit 2003 jährlich vergebene Auszeichnung würdigt herausragende Leistungen und soll gleichzeitig anderen Studierenden als Ansporn dienen. Darüber hinaus sei es wichtig, „das kritische Potenzial der Geisteswissenschaften auszuzeichnen“, unterstrich Ao.Univ.-Prof.i.R. Dr. Bernhard Kettemann, Initiator des Preises, und dankte den SponsorInnen. Zu ihnen zählen neben der Universität und dem alumni UNI graz Kathryn List (AVL) sowie FreundInnen des Instituts für Anglistik.

Vizerektor Martin Polaschek und der Leiter des Instituts für Anglistik, O.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Werner Wolf, beglückwünschten die PreisträgerInnen zu ihrem außergewöhnlichen Studienerfolg. Voraussetzung für die Prämierung mit dem Excellence Award ist zuallererst ein „Sehr gut“ auf die Diplom- oder Masterarbeit und die Abschlussprüfung. Den weiteren Ausschlag gibt der Notendurchschnitt über das gesamte Studium hinweg. Dieser lag bei den heuer ausgezeichneten AbsolventInnen unter 1,4.

Building biological bridges: Chemist discovers an ecological tool for the pharmaceutical industry

Building a relationship on a solid foundation is also important in chemistry. To produce medicines, disinfectants or plant protection products, stable bonds between carbon atoms must be formed. Conventional chemical methods rely on environmentally harmful reagents and solvents to carry out the desired reaction. This process also produces unusable by-products. Chemist Lilla Gal has discovered an enzyme that enables the same process to take place efficiently and sustainably. The results of her research were recently published in the prestigious journal Angewandte Chemie.

Austria has 77 higher education institutions, which is above the EU average – but does this really make sense? The new Higher Education Strategy 2040 focuses on cooperation rather than mergers. As one of the six largest universities in Austria, the University of Graz plays a central role in this.

The polar explorer and University of Graz professor Alfred Wegener left behind a unique collection of climate data from Greenland. A research team from the University of Graz is now analysing this 100-year-old treasure trove of data and comparing it with current measurements.

Diversity in nature and science: How we talk about plants and each other

Ginkgo, kiwi, hemp: they exist as male and female plants. Anyone who paid attention in biology class will confirm this. But is this categorisation, established by Carl von Linné almost 300 years ago, still valid today? An interdisciplinary team at the University of Graz is questioning these attributions and using this as a starting point to provide food for thought for gender-sensitive interaction between students, scientific and teaching staff.
