LECTURE BY PROF. DR. JOŽICA ČEH-STEGER: POET FIRST

Friday, March 29 2024, 17:00, Glazer Hall

The lecture, commemorating the 150th anniversary of Rudolf Maister Vojanov's birth, is organised by the University of Maribor Library, the Union of Cultural Societies of Maribor, and the Public Fund for Cultural Activities of Maribor. Following the lecture, there will be an opportunity for discussion.

Dr Jožica Čeh-Steger, a literary historian and full professor of Slovenian literature at the Faculty of Arts at the University of Maribor, will be presenting. She earned her degrees in Slovene and German from the University of Maribor, completing her Master's degree at the University of Ljubljana with a thesis on Župančič's poetry, followed by a PhD dissertation on Cankar's short prose. Since 1995, she has been teaching at the University of Maribor, with a brief stint as a lecturer in Slovene at the University of Graz. Her research focuses on Slovenian, Austrian, and Croatian modern literature, and she is the author of numerous publications in scholarly journals, as well as six monographs. This wealth of experience promises an engaging exploration of the poetic legacy of Maribor's most significant citizen.

The event will be conducted in Slovene.
