- Abstract
And alert your colleagues and students to rediscover new and inspirational ways teachers of German address and overcome the challenges of a global pandemic and declining enrollments. Elizabeth Mittman's "The Intimacy of Reading, or: an Argument for Slowing Down" argues for decluttering the pre-pandemic syllabus and focusing on key readings to provide students and the instructor with an opportunity to reflect on how catastrophes change lives. They are reporting a first positive impact: enrollments have increased and student interest in the program has grown, while students still meet national language proficiency standards. Sharma's article is a timely reminder that technology is not available equally to all students, just as a crisis such as COVID-19 affects some students more than others.
