Rutgers University

BIAAS awarded $12,000 to Rutgers University in order to fund a lecture series on Austrian-American studies. The grant funded nine lectures held from October 2012 to May 2013, with visiting academics from both U.S. and Austrian universities and institutions. These lectures focused on Austrian film and literature and included topics on women in cinema and Peter Handke’s novels.

Rutgers University is the state university of New Jersey. The university’s Department of Germanic, Russian, and East European Languages and Literatures was responsible for the organization of the lectures.
