From Gutenberg to the Web 2013. Experiencing how media influenced Western culture. We’ve arrived in Frankfurt and we will post some new photos after our walking tour tomorrow.

Students did research last fall on the Nuremberg rally grounds and resulting trials there, on Dachau, and so on. We have had those groups speak to the rest of the class throughout the journey and compare their research with new insights gained from actually being here. Ich bin ein ...
