How does university teaching and learning function in post-communist states? What distinguishes Western and Eastern European higher education and structures from each other? What do Western guest lecturers expect at a university in the former Soviet Union or Eastern Central Europe? What can experienced lecturers in Eastern Europe pass on to future guest lecturers in the humanities and social sciences? This volume is the first publication of its kind in the German language. It brings together reports, studies, and teaching method guidelines from 15 former and current guest lecturers, who share their observations, reflections, and advice on teaching at universities in the former Eastern Bloc.
