EUST 110: Introduction to European Studies

What is Europe? What defines the "European?" The answers to such questions may seem, in the twenty-first century, all too obvious. Yet is Europe so straightforward? We will investigate what elements over time have worked to create and define "Europe" as a unity, whether geographical, political, economic, religious or cultural but also those that have denied, strained, or broken this unity. Through readings, films and contributions from a multi-disciplinary faculty, this course offers an introduction to the conceptual and material compexities of a continent, a category, and a construct: Europe. 6; Does not fulfill a distribution requirement; offered Spring 2008 -- W.
