German Job Workshop

 
This workshop will explore options for Humanities PhDs in Berlin and in Germany in general. It will also examine issues to think about during the PhD to set oneself up as a viable candidate in Germany afterwards. Third, the workshop will review what the presenters have done with the language school they established, LALIA.
