The German Studies Forum aims to
- inform colleagues and graduate students about funding opportunities for German Studies research through the WCGS,
- initiate new and boost existing collaborative research among colleagues and graduate students of universities in southwestern Ontario, and
- foster new and extended venues for the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of research.
We'll have very short (1-minute) presentations in the morning, during which individual colleagues and graduate students can introduce their research interests, ideas, and projects. This will be followed by a few presentations about projects in progress. Breakout sessions for groups interested in the same or similar projects will take place in the afternoon.
