DESCRIPTION:A Conference of the Institute for German Cultural Studies (IGCS
 )\nFriday\, September 13\, and Saturday\, September 14\, 2019\n\nThe confe
 rence will examine the disciplinary and institutional contexts that make u
 p Anglo-American German Studies in our day. The field has since the 1970s 
 developed a unique profile as an umbrella term for interdisciplinary endea
 vors that have driven critical conversations informed by the German intell
 ectual tradition\, helping frame momentous trends that in the last decades
  have reshaped humanities studies and the institution of the university in
  North America. This historical trajectory makes German Studies an optimal
  lens for appraising the state of the humanities in the current landscape 
 of higher-education\, as they meet the challenges and seize the opportunit
 ies created by profound changes in the structure and funding of the univer
 sity\; the technological and institutional developments that have reshaped
  the ways we teach and conduct research\; the diversification and stratifi
 cation of our student population\; and the shrinking support for public ed
 ucation displayed by politicians and the public at large.\n\nFriday\, Sept
