    About Lane Sorensen

    Lane got his B.A. in German and History at Hastings College (where Kool-Aid was invented) and his M.A. in Germanic Studies at Indiana University Bloomington. He has taught German both here at IU and at DePauw University, and his academic interests include performative pedagogy, outreach, historical linguistics, Old Norse literature and Middle Low German 'liver-rhymes'. Lane is also an identical twin. They are both the evil one.
