CALL FOR PAPERS

71st National Postgraduate Colloquium in German Studies

Venue: University of Birmingham
Date:    Friday, 25 November 2022

The National Postgraduate Colloquium in German Studies is a biannual event organized in association with the Institute of Modern Languages Research (IMLR - formerly Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies) at the University of London. Launched in 1987, it provides an informal and friendly forum for graduate students in all areas of German Studies to present and discuss their current research. It is a measure of its success that the Colloquium now routinely attracts students from universities in mainland Europe and North America.

Offers of papers from graduate students working on any aspect of German Studies, including all periods of literature, the arts, social sciences, history, and linguistics are invited for the 71st meeting which will be held in person at the University of Birmingham.

A general knowledge of German culture and language can be assumed, though not a specialized knowledge of individual topics. Presentations, no longer than twenty minutes in length, should be targeted to the occasion and make use of appropriate media. Papers may be given in English or German. Each paper is followed by a ten-minute period for questions and discussion.

If you would like to contribute a paper, please send an abstract of not more than 500 words to mailto:jane.lewin@sas.ac.uk. The abstract must include the following information as part of the same file (in either MS Word or pdf format, not just as part of the covering email):

• Your name

• Your email address

• Your contact telephone number

• The name of the institution at which you are registered

• Abstracts should be sent by email to mailto:jane.lewin@sas.ac.uk.  Offers of papers must be received by 16 September 2022.

The Colloquium is organized by a committee in association with the Institute of Modern Languages Research. Current members are: Lauren Cuthbert (Aberdeen); Matthew Hines (Birmingham); Anja Rekesus (King's College London); and Monja Stahlberger (IMLR, London).
