German Studies 297 - SOCIETY & CULTURE 1900-1933

This course will examine the upheaval of the old political, social and cultural order in Central Europe at the end of World War I and its effect on societal and cultural life in Germany between 1900 and 1933. Special emphasis will be laid on the creation and design of a student-curated exhibition of print artifacts from the instructor’s personal collection that parallel the cultural, social and political transitions that occurred between 1900 and 1933. Students will create both a virtual exhibition with the help of CET and a physical exhibit using print-on-paper cases at the Smith Museum of Art. Conducted in English.
