| Abstract | German-American Studies should concern themselves with all aspects of the overlapping and mutual influencing of the two cultures. We should include not only the influence of German culture on the development of America, but also the influence of American culture on Germany. Cross-cultural and comparative topics mus be part of G-A Studies's agenda. What should a degree in German-American Studies at the undergraduate or graduate level prepare a student for? German-American scholars will include historians, political scientists, linguists, literary scholars, Germanists, and representatives from many other fields. Other useful models for an undergraduate program are the recently- instituted ethnic studies programs. Their interest in studying the meeting of two cultures, as well as their multi-dimensional, interdisciplinary subject matter make their experiences relevant to those which German-American Studies programs will also face. |
