From Sturm and Drang and Goethe's Faust to contemporary 21st century Germany, our faculty in German Studies have a variety of expertise and research interests. The interdisciplinary nature of our teaching allows students to study the German language while also learning about the fascinating, rich and sometimes difficult histories of German-speaking countries via their literature, music, film, and everyday cultures. Our faculty also contribute to the programs in Women's Studies, International Studies, and General Education via their courses in the "Literature and Culture" rubric, to the Humanities "World of Ideas" sequence, and also to Gateway Colloquia offerings, the first course in the university's writing program.
