DESCRIPTION

Florence is a world-renowned attraction: thousands of people every day crowd its small streets admiring the ancient buildings and artistic heritage. Less famous is contemporary Florence as lived by its current inhabitants: an ethnically varied population with complex socio-cultural dynamics at play in shaping the identity of this fascinating city. This course will analyze the complex dynamics that shape the identity of Florence. Students will learn to notice the cultural variability that is present in the city, seeing which ethnicities live in Florence today and gaining insight on their life through both scholarly sources and direct observation.
