Susan Neiman, during a talk about her new book "Learning from the Germans": "An ally only shares your interests temporarily but does not share your principles."

[ThirdGenerationOst @OstThird]

at the GDR seminar today were Briana Smith, Experimental Artists and Everyday Spaces, Juliane Schicker, Gender in GDR Film, Catrina Hoppes, Christa Wolf and a New Sexual Politics in the GDR, and Kathryn Kelley, O Romeo, O Romeo – Romeo and Juliet in the GDR #GSA2020

[ThirdGenerationOst @OstThird]

in the GDR seminar: Scott Harrison: "We might recover East German nostalgia after 1989 not as a yearning for SED socialism, but rather memories of participated in 'what could have been.'" #GSA2020

[ThirdGenerationOst @OstThird]

Promoting/Teaching GDR studies is promoting human conditions!!

[ThirdGenerationOst @OstThird]

Wants to encourage students to look at the nuances and break the past with the present. What parts of society are worth saving, and what parts can we take as a learning lesson.

[ThirdGenerationOst @OstThird]

Uses the East German experience to talk about the here and now of her students relating to socialism (health care, women's rights, queer life in the US military etc.)

[ThirdGenerationOst @OstThird]

She combines her teaching with her research but also here own biography.

[ThirdGenerationOst @OstThird]

Juliane Schicker talks about her experiences with students' assumptions about the GDR. She already talks about the GDR in her beginning German classes instead of making it purely content-related.

[ThirdGenerationOst @OstThird]

The roundtable on "Teaching East Germany Within and Beyond the German Department" just started. Presenters are Juliane Schicker, Adrian Mitter and Kyrill Mikhailovich Kunakhovich.

[German @ Carleton @GermanCarleton]

And the best thing? We will teach with a new book https://t.co/Q3HYqCh2aG from @Princeton - and it's free! #Kostenlos

[German @ Carleton @GermanCarleton]

Very long time, very long no see - we are going #Online in the fall! Join our GERM 101 and GERM 204 class from anywhere in the world if you are not on campus!

[German @ Carleton @GermanCarleton]

We are learning so much at #DDGC19 - so much to work on when we get back to campus to diversify and decolonize the German curriculum.
