Teaching a foreign language and culture is always a challenge, but it has been especially problematic to teach the German language and culture in the United States in the twentieth century. The tradition of Germany's great poets and thinkers of the past has been joined by a starker legacy. Through explorations of such topics as the world wars, the Holocaust, women in the language-teaching profession, Jewish contributions, and technology's impact on scholarship, this volume inspects the fascinating and frustrating relationships of the two cultures as they interact through the teaching of German in American educational systems -- from small liberal arts colleges to large and famous universities. This volume resulted from a conference, "Shaping Forces in American Germanics", held in Madison, Wisconsin, in September 1996.
The 2000 edition of the "Directory of Geman Studies" is an
indispensable research tool and source of information for those
involved in German studies throughout the world. The new Directory
lists 589 German studies departments and programs in the United
States and Canada and includes biographical and bibliographical
information for nearly 3500 individual faculty members in the
field. This edition was preceded by earlier editions in 1980, 1985,
1990, and 1995, which were published under the title "DAAD /
Monatshefte Directory of German Studies," (DAAD is the Deutscher
Akademischer Austauschdienst, or German Academic Exchange
Service.)
