Future students

The Waterloo Centre for German Studies (WCGS) is pleased to announce the shortlist for its annual Book Prize.  

Earlier this year, we accepted applications for our first Diversity and Inclusion Grants, whose purpose is to provide scholars and programs with some financing to support initiatives aimed at improving diversity and inclusion in German studies in Canada. Two upcoming events have received funding from the grant. Click on the event links for more details:

From World War I until the late 1950s, Catholics in Germany reported more instances of stigmata and visions of the Virgin Mary than at any time in modern history. This lecture emphasizes the stigmata of the charismatic Therese Neumann of Bavaria and the Cold War apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the small town of Heroldsbach. Neumann’s story in particular reveals much about the fall of German democracy in the 1920s and the relation of Catholics to the Third Reich.

The City of Graz, Austria is once again calling for applications for the "Writer of the City of Graz" scholarship for the period of September 2021 until August 2022.
