SOC 281 Multiculturalism in Europe Study + Internship in Prague Program Spring 2017 Semester

The course aims to introduce students with historical and contemporary issues of multiculturalism in Europe from an interdisciplinary perspective. In recent years, the territorial frontiers towards the outside and the internal political frontiers between the community and its member states have been changed significantly. Throughout the course, we will analyze how the controversial process of Europeanization is trying to guarantee the coexistence of different ethnic, religious and political forms across national borders based on the principle of cultural diversity and cosmopolitan tolerance. One of the main goals is to rethink Europe as an idea, a project and a reality. European integration will be analyzed as a highly complex, controversial, dynamic and open process future-oriented.
