‘You’ means everyone: Our quarterly departmental seminars are events for all folks involved in German Studies at UW—undergrads, grad students, staff, friends, and faculty. The format of the seminar seeks to break down the usual hierarchies of academic learning: no one is expected to be an “expert”; we strongly believe that everyone has something interesting to say!
There will be no lecture or presentation, just a broad question at the beginning to get us started. The only prerequisite is to read the poem (in German and/or English) before the seminar.
