Our PhD German Studies programme will enable you to undertake a piece of significant and original research under the supervision of our academics. Our understanding of German Studies is multiple and interdisciplinary, with a particular emphasis on culture and history from 1800 to the present day. From the cultural history of Imperial Germany to contemporary Turkish-German culture, migration studies and cosmopolitanism, from Culture and Dictatorship, German-Jewish studies and Holocaust film to the history of translation, our research explores the interface between politics, culture and identity in the modern German-speaking world across and beyond its national boundaries. Recent PhD projects supervised in the department include studies on: Early 20th-century German Design The Ottoman Armenians in German Literature and Journalism Melusine figures in Theodor Fontane Space and Time in Kleist and Hoffmann Disability in Contemporary German Women's Writing Holocaust Education Gertrud Kolmar Turkish-German Literature and Film Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary German Culture Architecture and Dictatorship Turkish German Cinema Cosmopolitanism and Contemporary Muslim German Writers
