Meeting Description: 

Participants are sought for a seminar on ''Multilingualism in German
Studies'', to be held at the 40th Annual Conference of the German Studies
Association.  

This seminar opens up a dialogue among colleagues in various fields of German
Studies on the role of multilingualism in our work. How do we account for
linguistic diversity in and beyond German-speaking societies, past and
present? How do our methods of analysis draw on multilingual conceptual and
experiential contexts, as well as multilingual bodies of scholarly work and
evidence? How is multilingualism reflected in our graduate and undergraduate
teaching? This seminar is designed to help participants share new and useful
perspectives on multilingualism to embed into their own research and teaching,
but bringing them into contact with scholars with other specializations. We
intend further to foster communication between the various subfields of German
Studies, by taking multilingualism, which concerns all members of the field,
as a topic of discussion. We also intend to come to grips with the role of
multilingualism in Germany and in the other German-speaking countries, which
often entails very different versions of multilingualism. In this way, the
seminar hopes to contribute to ongoing discussions in the context of the
German Studies Association as to the relationship between language (writ large
and small) and philology, linguistics, history, cultural studies, disciplinary
change, globalization, and interdisciplinary collaborative work. The format of
the seminar will be a dialogue based on pre-circulated papers composed by each
participant. No formal presentations will be required, but each participant
will be asked to offer a brief prepared commentary on another's paper.

Prospective participants should apply through the GSA's website at
https://www.thegsa.org/members/login. Applicants must be members of the GSA at
the time of application.
