The Goethe Society of North America is delighted to invite you to a GSNA-sponsored roundtable at the 2020 MLA Convention in Seattle, Washington.
Description:
In this roundtable, participants seek to establish productive connections between the scholarship on the age of Goethe and recent conversations on decolonization in the academy generally as well as in German studies in particular. On the one hand, we are interested in seeking out critical voices during the age, and, on the other, we are seeking out decoloniality models for the age.
