CALL FOR PAPERS (closing date: 11 February 2019)
Venue: Institute of Modern Languages Research, University of London, Senate House, Malet Street, WC1E 7HU
The National Postgraduate Colloquium in German Studies is a biannual event organised in association with the Institute of Modern Languages Research (IMLR - formerly Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies) at the University of London. Launched in 1987, it provides an informal and friendly forum for graduate students in all areas of German Studies to present and discuss their current research.

A general knowledge of German culture and language can be assumed, though not a specialised knowledge of individual topics. Presentations, no longer than thirty minutes in length, should be targeted to the occasion and make use of appropriate media. Papers may be given in English or German. Each paper is followed by a ten-minute period for questions and discussion.
If you would like to contribute a paper, please send an abstract of not more than 500 words to the organisers, c/o jane.lewin@sas.ac.uk. The abstract must include the following information as part of the same file (in either MS Word or pdf format):
