Published by Berghahn Books, the series represents the culmina- tion of four long-standing trends within the association. The first is a grow- ing tendency among members of the GSA to organize their work around common topics and to present their collaborations in series of panels at the association’s annual conference. The second is an effort both to expand the GSA’s sponsorship of scholarly work into a broader array of disciplines and historical periods and to strengthen thematic connections between them. The third is the increasing collaboration at the GSA among scholars from around the world who share interests in the society, politics, and culture of the German-speaking peoples, from the Middle Ages to the present day. The fourth is the GSA’s burgeoning role as a venue for the introduction of state-of-the-art research
