2021 Book Prize Shortlist

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

Established in 2017, the WCGS Book Prize recognizes first-time authors whose scholarly work contributes substantially to our understanding of any aspect of German-speaking society. The prize foregrounds good writing, scholarly relevance, originality, and the ability to reach audiences beyond the academic sphere.  

This year’s shortlist, celebrating books published in 2021, is another reminder of just how active and engaging German studies can be.
