UCL FACULTY OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES

Dear Germanists,

As Head of the UCL Department of German, I am writing to invite you most warmly to join us for a special event. On Wednesday 6 March 2013, the UCL German Department will be hosting:

Historians from UCL have produced the first freely accessible database of Britons involved in slave-ownership. The resource will help people explore their family, local and regional histories, and also help increase understanding about a national past which is often obscured. 

Did you study Dutch at UCL, recently or ages ago? We invite all alumni of the department to stay in touch by joining this group, free of any obligation.

New Worlds, New Literatures, New Critiques

Venue: University of Wisconsin – Madison
Dates: June 9-14, 2013
