Teachers and researchers from UA's German Studies Department will be out in force at the 40th annual German Studies Association convention in San Diego (Sept 30-Oct 2). Below is a schedule of those talks presented by UA graduate students and faculty that are open to the general membership of the GSA. (In addition, Profs. Kosta, Gramling, and Jacobs of German Studies and Prof. Landry of History will be taking part in small-group seminars, as will our recent doctoral alumna Prof. Diane Richardson of the United States Military Academy at West Point.)
