| The German Studies Association is the multi- and interdisciplinary association of scholars in German, Austrian, and Swiss history, literature, culture studies, political science, and economics. GSA holds an annual Conference and publishes a scholarly journal - German Studies Review - as well as a Newsletter. Members are generally professors at universities in colleges in North America, although there are several hundred members in Europe and Asia. Membership is open to anyone interested in German studies. GSA is a member of the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS).
GSA is a non-profit educational organization which promotes research and study of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The GSA Endowment Fund provides financial support to Association projects, the annual conference, and general operations. Gifts and donations to GSA are tax deductible contributions in the United States and many other countries. The Conference of the Association is held in the Fall, generally between mid-September and mid-October. About 150 sessions, each with three scholarly papers, a moderator, and a commentator, are distributed among the main research areas of the Association. Papers may be offered in English or German. German Studies Review is published three times each year, in February, May, and October. An issue generally contains six articles and 60 book reviews. Articles and book reviews in history, literature, culture studies, political science, as well as interdisciplinary themes, are published in English or German. The Newsletter is published twice each year. Each issue is about fifty pages, and contains information about the profession, grants, computer use in German Studies research and teaching, archival reports, and information about conferences and events as well as news of importance to the membership. Guidelines for curricula in German Studies are offered by GSA for assistance to universities, colleges, and high schools in planning programs in German Studies. |

Some people have profiles without their teaching institutions. This means that their names will be printed in the Conference Program WITHOUT their institution. Each of you wants the institution next to your name.
Do it NOW! Please! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't Do It! Don't! Don't! Don't renew your membership or join at the same time as you register for the Conference! You may send your dues to the wrong bank!! Do you want to do both? Go to the membership area and transact that business first. Then, close your browser and have a cup of coffee. Then, come back and open the browser again and go to the Conference section and transact that business. You will be safe! ____________________________________________ 2005 Conference Registration and Hotel Reservation Online NOW! Late Registration Surcharge Begins August 25!
