Lilith Edwards is a spring 2026 Halle Foundation Intern at the American-German Institute and a graduate of Emory University where she majored in German Studies and minored in Linguistics. During her time in university and with support from the Halle Foundation, she lived and studied in Vienna and Freiburg, immersing herself in and learning about the history and dialects of the respective regions. Prior to joining the American-German Institute, Lilith taught in a dual-language German immersion program to elementary school children in Atlanta, Georgia, where she received special training for second language and immersion instruction.
Lilith’s interest in fostering the American-German relationship stems from a personal interest in the intersections of various cultures and a desire to facilitate connection and knowledge-sharing amongst international communities. Her research interests are in climate policy, sustainability efforts, migration policy, and public discourse on civil rights and identity.
