The faculty and staff of the Transnational American Studies Institute are pleased to invite to this year’s Karl Dietz Memorial Lecture on Thursday, 26 November 2015. It is a great pleasure to combine this annual event with a symposium in honor of two eminent members of Mainz American Studies, Professor Winfried Herget and Professor Klaus Lubbers, to celebrate their 80th birthday. We have selected Thanksgiving for this special occasion to recognize the important achievements of these American Studies scholars.

Prof. Julie Rak (University of Alberta): “Mountaineering and First Nations People: Min Aodla Freeman“ (2:15-3:45pm)
