BTWH is an international research network with chapters at UC Berkeley (B), Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen (T), Universität Wien / Internationales Forschungszentrum Kulturwissenschaften (W), and Harvard University (H). The group is dedicated to interdisciplinary research on topics in German Studies related to issues of modernity, bringing together students and scholars working in literature, film, media, and history. Each year, one of the chapters of the group hosts a conference that represents the culmination of our discussions throughout the year.
