The 2024 online conference organizing team is excited to be putting together this first regularly scheduled online conference and has worked to ensure that what we love about WiG conferences--the energy and the community we experience, the new impulses for research and teaching we gain--will translate to the online environment.

For this year's conference you can look forward to:

our guests: the award-winning Rahel M’Bon and Pamela Ohene-Nyako to discuss Blackness in Switzerland
panels on "Monsters, Monstrous Bodies, and Identity Formation" and "Magical Things, Haunted Objects II: The Clock Strikes Back! Gender and Object-Oriented Ontology in German Women’s Literature up to 1918"
a discussion about "Why feminist? Why German Studies? Why now?"
a pedagogy workshop called “’Who Am I to Do This?’ Designing Anti-Racist, Project-Based Instruction”
poster presentations, and
community events, including an improv workshop.

We will be sharing the full conference program closer to our launch date.

We are excited to welcome you virtually in October,

The 2024 conference organizing team:

Nicole Coleman (Wayne State University)

Cynthia Porter (The Ohio State University)

Jamele Watkins (University of Minnesota)
