<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The Waterloo Centre for German Studies is excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2025 Grimm Lecture featuring Karolina Watroba!</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Dr. Watroba's lecture, "Kafka Around the World," explores how Franz Kafka, a relatively unknown writer at the time of his death in 1924 at the age of forty, would become one of the most
iconic voices - and faces - of modern literature. What is it about the life and literature of this unassuming Jewish man from Prague that has resonated with readers across cultures and generations?</p>
