The conference is over and we hope that you have enjoyed it as much as we did (or at least half as much 😄). A special thanks to all the speakers and participants of the conference. It was a great turn-out and we had very fruitful discussions in the panels and great conversations throughout the whole conference. We wish you safe travels and we hope to see you all soon :)
We would also like to thank our sponsors again, which made this event possible: SAFIR, DAAD smartNETWORK, The Graduate School ”Practices of Literature“, the Gleichstellungsbüro (Equal Opportunities Office) of the WWU as well as Prof. Dr. Katja Sarkowsky of the Chair of American Studies.
In addition to these organizations there are too many individuals to list here but we really appreciate the help of all of you.
