The National Postgraduate Colloquium in German Studies was first held in
London in 1986. Since 1988 it has been held twice a year, once at the
Institute of Germanic Studies, London, and once at another university in
Britain. Venues so far have been Bristol, Cambridge, Manchester, Norwich,
Oxford, St Andrews, Sheffield, Swansea, Birmingham, and Southampton.
The Colloquium was created to enable postgraduate students approaching the
end of their research to present work to a wider audience and, at the same
time, to help those beginning their research to form an idea of the finished
thesis and to provide an opportunity for students from different parts of
Britain and Ireland to make contact. Whilst still aiming to fulful these
roles, since 1989 there has been a gradual shift away from the presentation
of finished thesis work, allowing for discussion of open questions arising
out of work in progress, a more active role for all participants and
allowing those still in the early stages of their research to give papers or
lead discussions.
The 30th meeting, organised by Ursula Kuzi, Marielle Sutherland, Anja Zenk
and Daniela Zimmermann, will be held at the University of Leicester, on
Friday, 2 and Saturday, 3 November 2001.
