GERMAN GRADUATE STUDENTS

National Postgraduate Colloquium in German Studies



Call for Papers


The National Postgraduate Colloquium in German Studies is a biannual event organised in association with the Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies, London (formerly, Institute of Germanic Studies). The Colloquium is a friendly and informal forum for graduate students in all areas of German Studies to present and discuss their current research.

The thirty-ninth meeting will take place at the Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies in London on Friday, 7 and Saturday, 8 April 2006. The organising committee invites offers of papers from graduate students working on any aspect of German Studies including all periods of literature, the arts, social sciences, history, and linguistics. A general knowledge of German culture and language can be assumed, but not a specialised knowledge of individual topics.

Papers are more likely to be successful if they are targeted to the occasion and presented using appropriate media. Time for the presentation is limited to thirty minutes, followed by a ten-minute period for questions and discussion.

If you are interested in giving a paper, please print out and complete the form below and send it to:
