Jason Doerre has taught German language and culture at Trinity College since 2013. His broad teaching and research interests span German and Austrian culture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries including film studies. He received his PhD from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he worked for the DEFA Film Library handling archival prints and subtitling DVD productions. Additionally, he has been the recipient of several national awards such as a Fulbright Teaching Assistantship and a Fulbright Research Grant to the German Literature Archive. He has most recently published on turn-of-the-century German literature, Weimar Cinema, war and cinema, and documentary film.

As someone who has spent significant time in Germany and Austria, he brings a high level of enthusiasm for teaching the German language and culture, and is firmly convinced that there is no better path to becoming an educated worldly individual than studying another language and culture.
