Institution:

The University of Montana-Western

Subject:

Description:

An intense investigation of Eastern Europe from the 19th century to the present. Particular emphasis will be placed on eastern Europe immedi-ately after the conclusion of World War II when Stalinist regimes were put in power in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and East Germany. This class will explore Eastern Europe by studying its social/cultural history. Such an approach best allows students to understand how socie-ties reacted to the imposition of Stalinism, how they resisted it, and how they eventually overthrew Soviet domination in the revolutions of 1989. Students will show understanding of the material through class discus-sion, group projects, written assignments based on critical core readings and library research, and examinations. Lecture, discussion, and group projects-research. Prereq: PSY/SOC 220 or ANTH/HIST/POLS/PSY/ SOC 221 and ANTH/HIST/POLS/PSY/SOC 222, or c/i. (fall/odd-numbered years)
