We would like to announce the Fourteenth Undergraduate Research Conference in German Studies on April 5, 2025. This year the conference, co-organized by Lafayette College and Moravian University, will take place on Zoom.

This conference will give students the opportunity to present their research in all German-related fields, including but not limited to the study of German literature, film and culture, art history, music, philosophy, history and politics.

Please send your proposal of 250-300 words to Axel Hildebrandt at hildebrandta@moravian.edu by February 16, 2025.

The proposal should include:

• The title of the paper or poster
