DAAD Faculty Summer Seminar in German Studies

The purpose of the summer seminar is to promote the interdisciplinary study of historical, political, social and cultural aspects of modern and contemporary German affairs and to advance their understanding among scholars in the United States and Canada. The program is open to faculty members and recent PhDs in germane social science and cultural studies fields.

Details for the 2022 summer seminar will be posted in September 2021.

Participants must be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or Canada.

Applications to this program are currently not possible.

Accepted participants are eligible for a DAAD stipend, pending final confirmation of funding. There is a $50 course fee.

DAAD awards grants to cover tuition, travel, and room and board during the seminar.
