Interview with German Lecturer Beate Müller

"Metamorphosis: The Science of Change" on BBC4

Dr Beate Müller (School of Modern Languages, Newcastle University) interviewed for BBC4 documentary "Metamorphosis: The Science of Change" - *Watch it on iPlayer*.
What is the role of metamorphosis – the transformation of a living creature from one shape into another – in nature, and how has the idea of metamorphosis influenced our culture? A forth-coming BBC Four documentary explores these questions. The BBC contacted Dr Beate Müller, because she teaches an optional module on metamorphosis in German literature. Read the full report about how the documentary was made in "German@Newcastle", the twice yearly newsletter of the German Section at Newcastle University.
