Fall 2019 was another busy semester for German-inspired and -organized events across campus. Here are some highlights:<\/p>\n
Thanks to a very active German Club, students were able to enjoy two traditions: Oktoberfest and Nikolausabend. Many also gathered to attend a screening of Jojo Rabbit\u00a0<\/em>at the Carlisle Theater.<\/p>\n Students had the opportunity to hear two excellent lectures this semester by Prof. Linda Henderson<\/a> (University of Texas, Austin) and Prof. Gabriel Finder<\/a> (University of Virginia). The talks made students and faculty contemplate the relationship between science and art and discuss the limits of humor that refers to the Holocaust.<\/p>\n This fall’s Film Series was a part of Prof. Pfannkuchen’s course on German film and social activism and included Das Kaninchen bin ich\u00a0<\/em>(1965),\u00a0Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum\u00a0<\/em>(1975),\u00a0Das schreckliche M\u00e4dchen<\/em> (1990), and\u00a0Einer trage des anderen Last\u00a0<\/em>(1988).<\/p>\n Many thanks to all of the organizers for their hard work hosting and to wonderful students who help make our events so enjoyable!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
