Summer institute
The Trans-Atlantic Summer Institutes provide a unique forum for graduate-level students in Germany and North America to collaborate in the exploration of advanced topics relating to Germany and its role in Europe. Each summer, twelve German and twelve North American graduate-level students work intensively for three weeks and explore in depth questions that will enrich their dissertations in German Studies. The Summer Institutes also aim to make a major contribution to the training of the next generation of experts on Germany and Europe. They introduce German students to the American university and the larger academic culture of the United States; North American students will acquire a similar familiarity with the German setting. They therefore foster the international discussions and collaborations that are fundamental to the scholarly enterprise. As a student in the Summer Institute, you will learn how to combine the best aspects of training in both countries—the close attention to archival sources and their interpretation in Germany with the broad trans-disciplinary readings that characterize North American scholarship.
