Kennen Sie schon … das German Studies Collaboratory?

Wel­come to the Ger­man Stud­ies Col­lab­o­ra­to­ry, a vir­tu­al hub of resources for those inter­est­ed in Ger­man lan­guage, art, cul­ture, and his­to­ry. The project offers links to exist­ing mate­ri­als found on the ‘net, includ­ing teach­ing resources, schol­ar­ly lec­tures, and research mate­ri­als. At the cen­tre is an ethos of shar­ing, of pro­fes­sion­al­ism and col­le­gial­i­ty, of work­ing through these chal­leng­ing times togeth­er in the spir­it of com­mu­ni­ty. By pro­mot­ing col­lab­o­ra­tion, be it con­tribut­ing new mate­ri­als, bor­row­ing an idea, and shar­ing what we already have pro­duced, the GSC hopes to mod­el what crit­i­cal, open and acces­si­ble knowl­edge pro­duc­tion might look like. 

The GSC is a repos­i­to­ry of online resources. It fea­tures a Media Hub with guest lec­tures and webi­na­rs and soon hopes to fea­ture short videos designed for the col­lege class­room.

It also includes our Dig­i­tal Hub with links to inter­na­tion­al library and archive col­lec­tions, maps, images, sound, and text doc­u­ments for use in research and in the class­room.

New inno­va­tions in ped­a­gogy includ­ing assign­ment ideas, syl­labi, teach­ing mod­ules, and dig­i­tal tools are avail­able in the Teach­ing Hub for adap­ta­tion to cours­es of all lev­els. The Oppor­tu­ni­ties page lists grant, fel­low­ship, intern­ship, and teach­ing assist­ant­ship oppor­tu­ni­ties for under­grad­u­ate and grad­u­ate stu­dents, a great resource for men­tors and stu­dents alike.

We will also fea­ture blog posts on var­i­ous teach­ing, diver­si­ty, and research-relat­ed top­ics. Click Zeit­nah to fol­low along. 

Kind­ly sup­port­ed by part­ner­ships with the Ger­man Stud­ies Asso­ci­a­tion, the Ger­man His­tor­i­cal Insti­tute in Wash­ing­ton DC, the Amer­i­can Insti­tute for Con­tem­po­rary Ger­man Stud­ies, the Cen­tral Euro­pean His­to­ry Soci­ety, and the Diver­si­ty, Decol­o­niza­tion, and the Ger­man Cur­ricu­lum col­lec­tive, our goal is to pro­vide online access to the best of schol­ar­ly work in the name of access, rep­re­sen­ta­tion, diver­si­ty, and breadth.
