HIST 365 - Cultural Reflections: History And Architecture in Modern Central Europe

Institution:

Ramapo College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

Cultural Reflections is an opportunity for students to view Prague and the Czech Republic as a living museum on the relationship between history, culture, society and architecture. Lasting three weeks, the program will not only look at buildings as artifacts, but also as structures reflecting the history, culture, politics, religious life, social dynamics and economics of the epochs in which they were erected. In this context, edifices from castles and churches to dwellings and factories stand as both monuments to bygone eras and living reminders of how the present has been shaped by the past. Cultural Reflections will enable participants to study this development first-hand with leading faculty from the Czech Technical University. In addition to presenting lectures and seminars, they will escort students on walking tours and excursions to sites in Prague and the Czech Republic. The core faculty will be joined by specialists who will brief program participants on current political, cultural, social and economic issues facing the people of the Czech Republic in their transition to an open society, including privatization and human rights. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College History Department Course Attributes: GE-TOPICS ARTS AND HUMANITIES
