About the Seminar
A growing number of humanities faculty with research interests related to Germany and Central Europe now belong to the UT community. This group of scholars, along with interested students, is now large enough to launch a whole number of enterprises in German studies. One of these ventures began in the fall of 2006 and continues in 2011-2012.
