German Studies Co-Chair Kathryn Sederberg will be honored in a
virtual ceremony November 20 by the American Association
of Teachers of German (AATG).<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kathryn Sederberg, the Lucinda Hinsdale Stone Assistant Professor of German and a co-chair of the German Studies<\/a> Department at Kalamazoo College, will be honored in a virtual ceremony November 20 by the American Association of Teachers of German<\/a> (AATG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sederberg will receive the Goethe\u2010Institut\/AATG Certificate of Merit for her achievements in furthering the teaching of German in the U.S. through creative activities, innovative curriculum, successful course design and significant contributions to the profession. Recipients each year are nominated by their peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a great honor and I am glad to be recognized for my work,\u201d she said. \u201cI am grateful to the amazing community of German students here whose energy and enthusiasm motivate me as an educator. Teaching at K has enabled me to be creative, take risks, and try new things, like the \u2018Babylon Berlin\u2019 course designed around the hit TV series, or a unit on the forest with a field trip to the arboretum. It\u2019s in part because of the culture at K that I have been able to experiment in my classes and develop interdisciplinary material with connections to gender studies, environmental studies or Jewish Studies. I really enjoy teaching in a small program where I can work with students from 101 to the advanced seminars, see their growth and even stay in touch with them as alumni.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sederberg teaches beginning, intermediate and advanced German as well as Contemporary German Culture and the senior seminars on varying topics. She holds a bachelor\u2019s degree from St. Olaf College and a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, and is one of five educators between high schools and colleges from around the country to earn the honor this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith their dedication to excellence in German language instruction, these award recipients promote the transatlantic friendship between the U.S. and German\u2010speaking countries and foster the much-needed intercultural awareness so their students lead successful lives in a globalized world,\u201d AATG President Doug Philipp said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
