Summer 2014 Faculty-Led Course Abroad
GER 205: AUSTRIA & BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA
Cultural History, Migration, and Integration
Sponsored by Liberal Arts & Sciences and the Study Abroad Office
Please encourage students to consider this first summer session faculty-led course abroad in Vienna, Austria. The course will carry GenEd credit and will include a brief study tour to Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina. I am conducting the course through the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures but no German is required for participation.
This course will provide an introduction to major issues in migration and integration between the Western Balkans and
Austria. These issues will be contextualized in a historical introduction but focus will be upon the contemporary situation
relevant to European Union politics. The group will draw upon not only key writings on the topic but will broaden the
cultural-historical perspective through literature, film, and field work consisting of interviews, polling, and site visits in
Vienna and the Western Balkans region, including Sarajevo and ViĊĦegrad.
