A Look at Area Studies - German Studies

Today was a very important day in 1989 for those living in Berlin. It marked the opening (or falling) of the Berlin Wall. We thought we'd celebrate the day with a look at current German Studies Opportunities. Most of the records listed here fall under the humanities disciplines of economics or politics. And a few of them offer exchanges for students or teaching opportunities for faculty.

The best way to find studies focused on a specific geographic location is to visit the IRIS Thesaurus, select Area Studies and select the most appropriate geographic location, Save and Load into the search statement. You'll find opportunities that study that specific area.
