• The mission is to teach German and Slavic languages, and to research and teach the literatures and cultures of the peoples living in these languages.
  • They offer classes that address the highly complex histories and cultures of German speaking and Slavic countries. While our classes are steeped in the histories of these different literatures and cultures,  faculty believes that studying the past has an impact on the present, and that studying the diversity of literatures helps our students understand the present in its complexity and with the many challenges of a globalized world.
