There will be two guest speakers coming to the Department this term to talk about their work in German Studies. The first, Andrew Wormald, is a final-year PhD student from the University of Sheffield, and he’s going to talk about German film and TV production – specifically the ways in which it deals with the legacy of the German Past. For any of you that attended the film screenings in the “Remember Me” series last term, this talk will be of real interest, since he’ll also be talking about “Dresden”, the final film we showed last year.
The second speaker is Dr Uwe Schuette from Aston, and he’ll be talking on Heiner Mueller – so if you are interested in German 20th century drama, fiction and the GDR, then do come along.
All the sessions take place on Mondays at 17.30 in the Council Room of the Strand Campus. If you have any questions, contact Dr Ben Schofield in the German Department (benedict.schofield@kcl.ac.uk).
