The annual Women in German Studies members’ conference will be held in England at the University of Leeds, from 11-12 November. We hope to hold the conference in hybrid form, with a mix of in-person and online events. All events will be held on site in Leeds in the first instance.
I would like to draw your attention to the latest volume (47:4 2021) of the journal Geschichte und Gesellschaft, which deals with Polish-Prussian history from a postcolonial perspective. The volume, entitled “Preußen postkolonial” was edited by Felix Ackermann and Agnieszka Pufelska.
