Dear Visual Culture Network Colleagues,
We will be proposing seven panels on our theme, “Representations of German Identity in Visual Culture,” to the Program Committee for inclusion in this fall’s German Studies Association (GSA) conference in Louisville, Kentucky, which will take place September 22nd to the 25th. Our seven panels, panel sub-headings, and paper titles are listed below.
Here’s where you, a member of our VCN online community, can help.
We seek individuals interested in serving as moderators / commentators for these panels. If you are interested, please send us your name, current position / institutional affiliation, the name of the panel(s), and the role in which you would like to serve (i.e., moderator, commentator, or either). We will also need your GSA member reference number. Send this information to both Deb and Tom no later than Friday, February 4th.
Note that graduate students cannot serves as moderators or commentators, per the GSA’s conference guidelines, and that all moderators / commentators must be active (i.e., 2011) members of the GSA.
The VCN panels are sure to add exciting new opportunities for us, and our GSA colleagues, to examine further the important, varied role visual culture plays in German studies. We very much look forward to hearing from you no later than Friday, February 4th.
Best wishes,
Deb Ascher and Tom Haakenson
