Max Kade Center for German-American Studies

The Max Kade Center for German-American Studies:

• Curates significant collections of books, archives, artifacts, and artwork broadly related to the German-speaking migrant and exile experience in the U.S., partnering with other KU units and community organizations to make these collections available to students and scholars. 
• Collaborates with campus, community, national, and international partners to foster interdisciplinary inquiry into issues at the heart of the Center’s collections: transnational migration and exile, democracy and anti-authoritarianism, and multilingualism.
• Provides an open and welcoming gathering space for the cultivation and sharing of ideas through outreach and programming, including public lectures, cultural events, digital archives, exhibits, and more. 
• Utilizes its space, collections, and programming to provide opportunities for student engagement and community, professional development, and hands-on training.
