Our German Studies PhD program allows you to conduct groundbreaking original research guided by our expert faculty. We approach German Studies through an interdisciplinary lens, focusing particularly on cultural and historical developments from the 1800s onward. Our research spans diverse topics including Imperial Germany's cultural legacy, modern Turkish-German cultural exchanges, migration patterns, and cosmopolitan ideals. We examine intersections of politics, culture, and identity across German-speaking regions through themes like dictatorship-era culture, German-Jewish studies, Holocaust cinema, and translation history. Recent doctoral projects in our department have investigated: German design innovations of the early 1900s Ottoman Armenian portrayals in German media Melusine motifs in Fontane's works Spatiotemporal concepts in Kleist and Hoffmann Representations of disability in modern German women's literature Holocaust pedagogy approaches Gertrud Kolmar's literary contributions Turkish-German literary and cinematic expressions Gender and sexuality in modern German culture Architectural developments under dictatorships Turkish-German filmmaking Contemporary Muslim-German authors and cosmopolitan ideals
