This is a course about contemporary Greece, focusing on the country's process of integration in the European Union (formerly European Community, EC). From her original application for associate status in the late 1950s and her membership in 1981 through the present, Greece's politico-economic development has been profoundly shaped by the exigencies of European integration. The course examines both the history of European unification and the development and scope of contemporary European Union institutions and common policies. The process of 'europeanization' of national politics and socio-economic policies is also assessed. Classes begin with an introduction to the EU followed by a brief historical overview of Greece's process of integration in the EC/EU. The third unit explores the country's Europeanization, concentrating on state institutions and government policies. Finally, the fourth section of the course looks at present and future challenges of EU integration and their relevance for Greece. (Athens, Greece, http://www.arcadiacenter.edu.gr/)

This is a course about contemporary Greece examining the country's process of integration in the European Union (formerly European Community, EC). From the original application for associate status in the late 1950s and membership in 1981 through the present, Greece's political-economic development, as well as social life, have been profoundly shaped by the exigencies of European integration. The course offers an opportunity for students interested in politics, economics or sociology to learn about the prospects and problems facing present-day Greece in tandem with the EU. Students will also learn about contemporary Europe as well as about the nature and workings of the EU as an emerging polity and central actor in the post-Cold War period. Greece offers a particularly interesting case study of the dynamics of integration. It exposes the dilemmas of and opportunities for small member-states with weak economies, historical influences, social-political structures and foreign policy concerns, which significantly diverge from the North European 'core.' In this sense, the Greek experience is instructive about the prospects and potential challenges facing new East European states that recently joined the EU.

This course examines the rise and development of Christianity to approximately 500 CE. How did Christianity go from being an obscure and dissident Jewish sect to the official religion of the Roman Empire? In what ways did it change over time to accommodate new circumstances and realities? Chief topics to be addressed include: the formation of doctrine and structures of authority, persecution and martyrdom, evolving definitions of orthodoxy and heresy, relationships between 'Church and State', the role of women, and the rise of asceticism and monasticism. In particular, it investigates the roots of all existing Christian denominations from a common source in antiquity, as well as the nature of the relationship between early Christianity its Judaic and Greco-Roman origins. The format of the course centers almost exclusively on the reading and discussion of primary texts. The course is primarily intended for religion majors and minors, but for those in others fields, e.g., history, will also discover content relevant to their respective discipline.

Culture shock: what causes it? There are things one knows to expect when coming to Greece: new foods, a foreign language, a busy city. What one doesn't expect is that the very rules of living are different: eye contact, physical proximity, the way one argues, the way foreigners are sized up, the way one behaves if you're a woman or a man, the way family members treat each other, the way one relates to political life, the meanings of "urban" and "rural," how traditions can be modern and traditional at the same time, how one thinks about generosity and hospitality, and on and on and on. In this course, we'll be analyzing the logics, the rules, and the cultural commonsense at work in Modern Greek society (societies?). This course will enable students to analyze the logics, the rules, and the cultural commonsense that makes Modern Greek society (societies?) work. Through the work of anthropologists who have researched in Greece over the last 60 years, we'll look at the rules of rural village life as it looked several decades ago, then trail those villagers into the city of Athens during the massive urban migration that followed. Topics of the course include: gender, sexuality, urbanization, coffee, Europeanization, Modern Greek history, sheep theft, folk practices in Greek Orthodoxy, rites of birth and death, holiday rituals, graffiti, immigrants and minorities, contemporary politics, dance, cigarettes, film, etc. Class assignments will be reports on firsthand ethnographic research, where students will be required to get out there, watch what people are doing, ask questions, and participate.
