Four Münster University academics talk about their everyday work with non-democratic partners. WWU - privat, Khorchide, Karberg The German scholar Susanne Günthner, the biologist Eva Liebau, the Islamic scholar Mouhanad Khorchide and the archaeologist Angelika Lohwasser work with non-democratic partners. In their guest contributions, the academics from the University of Münster give an insight into their everyday work. After I completed my studies, I spent four years in the 1980s working as a DAAD lecturer at Shanghai's Jiao Tong University, the foreign languages university in Guangzhou, as well as at Tongji University, likewise in Shanghai. After these years at various Chinese universities, and after gaining my doctorate in Chinese-German intercultural communication, I regularly had positions as a guest lecturer at a number of universities in China. Since being appointed to the Chair of German Philology at Münster University in 2001, I have continued to maintain my academic contacts with Departments of German Studies in China. Since 2017 I have been heading the German Studies Departments Partnership, financed by the DAAD, between the University of Münster and Xi'an International Studies University in north-west China.
