Active with the TGDP: Summer 2017, Spring 2025 – Summer 2025
MA & PhD in Germanic Studies (UT Austin), BA in German (University of Florida)
Marisol developed an interest for languages and storytelling at a young age. They grew up in a bilingual household and sought to learn a third language in college. In their studies, they specialized in twenty-first century German literature and film and developed ample experience in language teaching and editorial work. They enjoy learning to read Japanese in their spare time.
Their work doing interviews, transcription, and documentation for the TGDP was both fun and meaningful. It gave them the opportunity to not only learn more about German dialects and the history of Germany-US migration, but also to honor family histories, memories, and cultural identities in Texas German communities.
