We are a community of students, teachers, and scholars devoted to the cross-disciplinary study of language, literature, and culture within a transnational framework. Working in an environment that fosters cooperation and the pleasure of discovery, our programs include courses in German and English on subjects ranging from medieval to contemporary literature and from film and visual culture to philosophy, music, and postcolonial studies.
Mari Jarris's article "Forms of the Mother Right: Marxism's Matriarchal Origins from Friedrich Engels to Lu Märten" won the Women in German Best Article Prize for 2025.
Your support enables the program to enhance the experience for undergraduate students. Gifts can help fund lectures and conferences, student research, distinguished speakers, and other program priorities. We will greatly appreciate and immediately put into use any gift, no matter the amount.
