On April 9th & 10th, the Department of German hosted the 34th Annual Berkeley Conference in Interdisciplinary German Studies “Goodbye Germany, Goodbye World!: Twenty More Years in TRANSIT” to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the German Department's graduate student run journal TRANSIT. The conference was organized by Kayla Rose van Kooten, Ambika Athreya, and Elizabeth Sun. The two-day hybrid conference welcomed alumni, current graudate students, and many visitors alike representing in total 17 different institutions. In addition to a number of panels and a roundtable, the conference also featured a birthday party to celebrate. The organizers are grateful to our speakers, our moderators, our attendees, as well as our generous sponsors.
