In conjunction with a seminar offered by the German Program, GER 306, The Culture of Soccer, AdriAnne Cole conducted research on the cultural implications of soccer, maybe the most popular sport in Germany. Her study abroad semester in Germany coincided with Germany serving as the host of the World Cup in soccer. AdriAnne found ample opportunity to study the importance of soccer in German culture and everyday life. Her final project, “Bild-ing a Group Identity: Visually Constructing Gender and National Pride in the Context of German Soccer,” was well received and exhibited at various events.
