Jill S. Smith,
visiting instructor of German, organized and moderated a panel at this year's
national conference of Women in German in Carrollton,
Ky. The panel, “Women in the Fortress
Europe: Feminist Critiques of Globalization,” addressed how the issue of
globalization and women's roles therein is thematized
in recent German literature, film, and theoretical texts. She also presented a
paper, “Righteous Women and Lost Girls: Turn-of-the-Century German Feminist
Discourse on Prostitution in Berlin,”
at the annual convention of the German Studies Association (GSA) in New
Orleans.
