From Russia with German: Migration Experiences across Three Continents

The symposium will explore the migration history and the experiences of Russian Germans in the Americas, their evolving traditions, and identities, as well as their and their descendants’ attitudes toward their two ancestral homelands. Topics include: Russian Germans in the global context past and present; material culture, with a focus on textiles and vernacular architecture; language maintenance and change; and Mennonites, as an example of a faith-based subgroup.
