The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Ohio State University announces a new initiative for German Studies involving all faculty at colleges and universities throughout the state. The Ohio German Studies Workshop (OGSW), which will take place in the fall every year, is designed as a forum for Ohio German Studies and an opportunity for colleagues across the state to become better acquainted with each other, with the research that is being conducted in German Studies, and with the issues that we all face as German scholars in higher education institutions in the twenty-first century.

The initial OGSW will take place in the Blackwell on the Ohio State main campus on October 11, 2014.
