Forty-Second National Postgraduate Colloquium in German Studies Saturday, 3 November 2007 at the University of Kent at Canterbury CALL FOR PAPERS The National Postgraduate Colloquium in German Studies is a biannual event organized 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 forty-second meeting will take place on Saturday, 3 November 2007 at the University of Kent at Canterbury. The organizing 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 specialized 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.
