The German History Research Group (University of Cambridge) is pleased to announce its Lent term programme which will be dedicated to the interaction between politics and the arts in different periods of German history.
Funded by the German Academic Exchange (DAAD), the Group brings together scholars working on various aspects of German history, offering them an opportunity to broaden their network, present their research and exchange ideas. The Group accepts proposals from postgraduate students (master's and PhD) and postdocs from all disciplines.
This term, we will have four sessions taking place via Zoom on Thursdays at 3pm UK time. The programme below features a range of speakers and topics which could be of interest to students and early career researchers who study German cultural history, memory, identity, and the relationship between the arts and politics.
