Jason began teaching at Trinity College in 2013, where he has been telling students about the value of learning the German language and culture ever since. Having studied German and history, both his teaching and research interests tend to be interdisciplinary in nature, spanning the fields of nineteenth and twentieth century German culture, German history, and film studies. As a language teacher, Jason seeks to introduce students to the world beyond Trinity and the U.S. emphasizing the 5 C\u2019s (communication, culture, connections, comparisons, communities). In addition to language courses, he also regularly teaches courses offered in English such as \u201cPostwar German Film,\u201d \u201cBerlin to Hollywood,\u201d and \u201cInside the Third Reich\u201d that reflect his research interests. Currently, he is working on a book manuscript about the liberal German bourgeoisie in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as well as another project concerning German war films of the early postwar period.<\/p>\n<h2>Faculty Affiliated with German Studies<\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%;height: 630px\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 138px\">\n<td style=\"height: 138px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/internet3.trincoll.edu\/facProfiles\/Photos\/1000226.jpg\" alt=\"Sam Kassow\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 138px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/internet3.trincoll.edu\/facProfiles\/Default.aspx?fid=1000226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Samuel D.
