Graduate Program in German
Studies In addition to the German department core faculty, the program has committed affiliated German Studies faculty drawn from Duke's major Arts & Sciences departments. Many faculty members from both groups also teach in established interdisciplinary programs: Film and Video, Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Graduate Program in Literature, and Women's Studies. Duke University is committed to promoting interdisciplinary research, as well as to developing the international dimension of the university community. The Center for European Studies and the Center for International Studies support graduate student research, as well as conferences, lecture series, and cultural programs. Duke's Center for Teaching, Learning and Writing, and Center for Instructional Technology offer workshops and financial support for graduate student projects related to teaching and the use of technology in teaching and research. The Robertson Scholars Foundation is supporting collaborative projects between the German departments at Duke and the University of North Carolina, and graduate students from both programs may take courses at either university. The William R. Perkins Library houses over four million volumes. Holdings of special interest include the Harold Jantz Collection (10,530 titles), with many Baroque first edition texts plus extensive resources in early German-Americana; significant Nazi period materials; the Weinmann Collection of Austrian music; the Kanof Collection of Jewish Art, Archeology and Symbolism; and strong collections in 19 th - and 20 th - century painting and 16 th - century graphic arts. All students also have borrowing rights at the Davis Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, only nine miles away. |
