Deutsches Haus at New York University

BIAAS granted $6,100 to Martin Rauchbauer, director of Deutsches Haus, in order to fund a panel discussion on Austrian writer Peter Handke’s influence in America. The grant covered the cost of travel expenses, hotel, and honorarium for the six speakers on the panel. The project also produced two videos of the discussion which were uploaded to YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0tOT0NN418, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGxDlg206gQ)
