  • Two issues per year of the GSA Newsletter with updates on key information for German Studies scholars
  • Access to member networks and forums focused on specific disciplines and research interests

Institutional Membership:

  • Institutional members are recognized in the biannual German Studies Association newsletter, which is distributed to all of our 2,300 members across the globe. We also feature institutional members in the annual conference program / app, and on the GSA website. Institutional membership also includes one quarter-page advertisement in the German Studies Review.

Graduate Institutional Membership:

  • Graduate Institutional Members receive the same benefits as Institutional Members, with increased advertising space (1/2 page) in the GSR. In addition, this tier includes 6 complimentary 1-year GSA memberships for graduate students and/or non-tenure track / contingent faculty at your institution.
