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

The European Union is a fascinating and unprecedented experiment in international cooperation and integration. Europeans, who spent the first half of the 20th century killing each other in spectacular effusions of nationalism, have since 1945 worked steadily to become more peaceful, democratic, and integrated. This class will explore the history of the EU and the development of its institutions. We will study the EU as an evolving organism, as a "club" of independent states, and from the perspective of those who are trying to get in. Finally, the course will explore current and future issues that the EU is addressing, such as refugees, immigration, citizenship, human rights, relations with the United States, and many others. 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: MJ-INTL-Area Studies-Europe

This course will take a particularly unique perspective. The history of a people is more than the description of their condition over a period of time.

The material presented in this course will be selected and organized to illuminate these "turning points" in South African history; i.e., The Coming of the Dutch, Early South African Resistance, Formation of the ANC, The Sharpeville Massacre, The Soweto Riots, World Sanctions, Ending Apartheid, Democracy and The Transition. 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-INTERNATIONAL ISSUES, MJ-INTL-Area Studies-Africa
