Session Description:

Roundtable on the place of German in tomorrow's university. How are we training graduate students in German programs to adjust to a changed landscape and secure a place for German in the new pared-down humanities curricula? Panelists will discuss how their departments have adapted to the crisis in German, how graduate training incorporates cross- and interdisciplinary tracks, and what the place of literature is in the new "practical" curricula.
