Early life and education
Christoph Bode is the second child of the private language school director and university lecturer (Anglistik und Amerikanistik) Dr. Adolf Bode and his wife Ute Bode (born Kuß). Bode was educated in his home town of Siegen (1959–1971), before reading English and American Literature, Geography, and Philosophy/Pedagogy at Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany, and University College Cardiff (1971–1976). After his graduation from Marburg in 1976 (state examination), Bode received his Ph.D. from the same university in 1978 (English and American Literature, with Philosophy/Pedagogy as minor subject). This was followed by Bode's alternative service as conscientious objector (1978–1980).
Career in academia
From 1977 to 1986, Bode was Assistant Professor and, from 1986 to 1992, Associate Professor at Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, Germany. In 1989/90 he temporarily filled the position of a Professor of English and American Literature at Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, Germany. In 1992 he was made Professor of English and American Literature at Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, and in 1997 he was Visiting Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 2000, Bode received the offer of a Chair of English Literature from the LMU Munich.
