The Greek Key Seminar is the 2-credit culture learning component of the larger and mandatory Language in a Cultural Landscape. This course includes community-based learning, volunteering or directed field study, and the completion of a Greek Key Project. Perhaps you can anticipate some of the new things you will experience in Athens and Greece: a foreign language in a new alphabet, new foods, a new city. But what about the ones you cannot anticipate, things like eye contact and body language, holidays, the way one argues, the rules of hospitality, the importance of coffee in the lives of most Greeks? The Greek Key Seminar will help you to unlock the door to cross cultural understanding. It will provide the structure to explore Greek culture in an in-depth way while helping you to acquire new and necessary learning techniques and survival strategies. The Greek Key Seminar will involve you in community-based learning as you engage in directed field exploration or volunteer in a local organization.

This course aims at examining and critically assessing the Greek economy from a historical, international and European perspective. The first series of lectures and seminars traces the origins of the modern Greek economy, its twentieth century transformations and the country's foreign economic relations. Emphasis is placed on the developmental potential of, and constraints imposed upon, the alternative economic policies adopted overtime. The second part of the course analyses Greece's new political economy as part and parcel of a broader - European - unit. Utilizing both an historical and thematic approach, the 'mapping' of Greece's policies and sectors contributes to the analysis of current economic policy options in comparative perspective. Theoretical approaches to development and Greece's economic dilemmas in the context of an enlarged Europe are examined throughout this section. Students who complete the course will have surveyed the main stages of Greek economic development, identifying the specific problems of, and options open to, Greece's contemporary economic policy-making.
