German Studies Graduate Students Informal Information Exchange This information exchange calls on any PhD or MA student at any stage in his or her studies doing research on German issues to post an abstract or any short text describing best their research. The purpose is to have an exchange of ideas and perhaps from time to time challenge each others opinions. This can either occur one-on-one via email but also publicly in the discussion group and message board which is only accessible through the website. It aims to enable prospective scholars to learn how others deal with similar topics and provides a new place for networking. While anyone, including accomplished scholars, is invited to engage in discussions, the posting of abstracts is exclusively for graduate students.
