Brigid Garvey is well into the third decade of teaching in Dalhousie's German Department; already in 2004 she received the FASS Award for Excellence in Teaching. She discovered German in high school, but also pursued interests in Classics (BA Hons Classics & German), Fine Arts and Art History (part-time at NSCAD) and folk music. She spent three summers doing graduate studies at the Institut für Deutsch als Fremdsprachenphilologie of the Ruprecht-Karls Universität Heidelberg, Germany, before taking up the role of Senior Instructor at Dalhousie. Language teaching continues to be a consuming passion, complemented by a love for literature and poetry. This year she's excited to be able to offer 'German Folk and Fairy Tales' in addition to the language classes.
