The Waterloo Centre for German Studies is excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2025 Grimm Lecture featuring Karolina Watroba!

Dr. Watroba's lecture, "Kafka Around the World," explores how Franz Kafka, a relatively unknown writer at the time of his death in 1924 at the age of forty, would become one of the most iconic voices - and faces - of modern literature. What is it about the life and literature of this unassuming Jewish man from Prague that has resonated with readers across cultures and generations?

When: Thursday, February 27th, 2025 at 7:00pm (with a reception to follow)

Where: The CIGI Auditorium at the Balsillie School (67 Erb Street West, Waterloo, Ontario) AND online

Please note this is a hybrid event - you can attend in-person or online. By registering and choosing an online or in-person ticket, you help us calculate our catering numbers and give us a way of providing you with a secure link to the online transmission.
