Admission: free

This presentation draws on experiences working and living in Germany as an American. Life in former East Germany, current problems faced by Germans in the east living in unified Germany, and cultural differences between Germany and the United States will be addressed. The focus also will be on what German high school students and teachers find interesting about America, as well as what one might expect to teach while working on a Fulbright scholarship.
