Interdisciplinary in nature, the academic field known as German studies combines the close study of texts and media with broad humanistic inquiry into the foundations and structures of culture and society. As the world faces growing political uncertainty, socio-economic polarization, and ecological crisis, the ability to think historically and interpret critically has become increasingly important; students can hone this ability by studying the German-speaking countries’ specific historical experiences and the cultural manifestations of those experiences. The German Studies department’s courses in the areas of literature, the other arts, and critical thought often introduce historical and transnational perspectives, encouraging students to make comparisons across eras and cultures. The German studies curriculum focuses on three major periods and offers courses in German and English on a wide variety of topics.
