Scott Windham, assistant professor of German, recently gave a presentation at the annual conference of the German Studies Association. The German Studies Association is a thousand-member, international, interdisciplinary body dedicated to research on Germany and the other German-speaking countries. Windham was part of a panel discussing trends and strategies in German literature and film of the past decade. His presentation focused on the representation of ordinary Germans in the recent movie “The Downfall,” about the final two weeks of the Third Reich.
