The Center for the Humanities and the European Studies Concentration invite you to an afternoon of conversations featuring new interdisciplinary research in the field of German Studies. Jenny Anger (Art History) will be presenting on her new book, Four Metaphors of Modernism: From Der Sturm to the Société Anonyme (University of Minnesota Press, 2018). Vance Byrd (German) will be sharing some work in progress on nineteenth-century attempts to educate German and American publics about sustainability in serialized wood specimen collections. And finally, Dan Reynolds (German) will talk about the process of branching out into unfamiliar disciplinary terrain as he researched his book Postcards from Auschwitz: Holocaust Tourism and the Meaning of Remembrance (NYU Press, 2018).
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for the Humanities and the European Studies Concentration. Everyone is welcomed.
