Women in German Studies (WIGS) is an annual meeting and acts as a professional network to support female Germanists throughout their careers. The WIGS conference was held at Selwyn this year, and hosted by the College’s Fellow in German, Dr Charlotte Woodford.
There was an afternoon workshop for early career researchers, providing a valuable opportunity to share expertise on public engagement and the use of social media (tweeting on #wigs2014); and sixteen speakers gave presentations on the latest research in German studies, on topics ranging from medieval pilgrimages to hip-hop. Ina Linge from Cambridge was awarded first prize in a new competition for the best postgraduate essay.
