Our upcoming #PicadorProf: Rachel Khong
We’re excited to welcome Rachel Khong, who will be teaching in the summer term 2026!
My time in Leipzig was so enriching and fascinating. The city is warm and welcoming and bursting with life. I loved working with the students at the university, and meeting the many remarkable scholars in the American Studies department.

PICADOR is creating Space
… for great authors, joint learning, avantgarde literature, creative writing, inspiring diversity, public reading.
OPENNESS AS A PROGRAM
In 2006, Leipzig University, in co-operation with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and Holtzbrinck Berlin, initiated the Picador Guest Professorship for Literature at the University of Leipzig aiming at conveying and critically reflecting on Anglo-American Literature. Public events are also offered in addition to the authors’ teaching activities as Picador Guest Professors. This takes place in collaboration with the creative arts and culture community of Leipzig.
Many of the questions we discussed were ones we had never thought about before for example the question of what our own “fundamental truth” is.
