Dear all, apologies for cross-posting. 1. On Saturday 4 May a workshop was held at the Institute of German Studies in Birmingham as part of the British-Academy-funded Networks project on German normalisation. Further details of the project can be found at: http://www.german.leeds.ac.uk/normalisation/frontpage.htm The report for the day's events can be found at: http://www.german.leeds.ac.uk/normalisation/schwerpunkte1.htm A mailbase has been establised: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/germany-normalisation.HTML 2. The members of the project welcome contributions from other scholars interested in the concept and configuration of German normalisation.
