Dear Members of the German Studies Community, 

Mary Lindemann and Ben Marschke are organizing panels on "biographical writing in the twenty-first century" for the 2023 German Studies Association conference (5-8 Oct., in Montreal).  

These panels will address how scholars have recently approached the writing of biographies, whether of canonical figures, lesser known people, or even unknown people.
