The German Graduate Research Seminar

German Graduate Research Seminar

The German Graduate Research Seminars are informal gatherings organised by graduates and open to all.

We meet several times a term and aim to provide a space for relaxed discussion of anything related to German studies. There is no fixed format, but meetings tend to centre on short texts or papers. Proposals for future seminars are welcome, especially from new members.
