German Studies Seminar
………………………………………………………….
2024-2025 Call for Proposals
Submission Deadline: June 7, 2024
…………………………………………………………
This seminar, which convened for the first time in AY 2020-2021, provides a forum for scholarship-in-progress in the area of German Studies, broadly defined. We welcome work on modern and pre-modern topics from all disciplinary perspectives, including but not limited to Literature, History, Art History, Philosophy, Music, and the Social Sciences. The seminar is particularly interested in papers that cross disciplinary boundaries, and that reconceptualize the materials and conventions of German Studies as a field, including beyond the frames of the German language and nation state. Preference will be given to applicants who are post-PhD.
Seminars for AY 2024-2025 will be a mix of in-person events at the Newberry and virtual events on Zoom, at the discretion of the presenter.
The Newberry is unable to provide funds for travel and lodging for presenters and respondents, but can assist in locating discounted accommodations.
If you have questions, please contact the seminar organizers: Alice Goff (University of Chicago), Imke Meyer (University of Illinois Chicago), Sophie Salvo (University of Chicago), Anna Souchuk (DePaul University), Lauren Stokes (Northwestern University), or e-mail scholarlyseminars@newberry.org
