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 on the Ohio State main campus. A light breakfast will be available at 8:45 AM; the first session will commence at 9:30 AM; the second session will begin at 11:15. After a break for lunch of about an hour, during which participants can socialize and discuss issues privately, the Workshop will begin again at 2:00. The fourth session should be able to start at around 3:45, and the formal proceedings will be finished at around 5:30. Coffee and snacks at breaks, as well as lunch at noontime, will be supplied by OSU.
