In this first-ever episode of Genau DAS!: Ein German-Studies-Podcast, we talk with Chantelle Warner about what it's been like directing a German language program under pandemic conditions, how Warner has worked with graduate student instructors during this time, and what a professor's responsibility is in a crisis moment like ours. Warner is co-director of the Title VI Language Resource Center CERCLL (cercll.arizona.edu) and author of The Pragmatics of Literary Testimony: Authenticity Effects in German Social Autobiographies (Routledge, 2012).
