European (Modern) Studies ClusterEurope has long been a site of struggle over issues of self-identity, politics, ethnicity, class, gender, and religion, among others. The cluster in European Studies proposes an in-depth study of European history, economics, politics, geography, theater, art and literature in order to convey the complexity of the European scene, past and present. Cluster Coordinator: Martha Hickey
Sophomore Inquiry: European (Modern) StudiesSophomore Inquiry classes in this cluster will take an interdisciplinary approach to investigate the meaning of Europe, examining the history of its development, and its contemporary relevance. Courses may analyze the historic impact of national, ethnic, religious, and class identities, or the various art forms (art, drama, and/or literature) produced by European cultures, emphasizing the arts as a forum for the portrayal of ethical issues within human experience. Courses will concentrate on teaching students to read closely history and the arts, and critically analyze both by investigating the different social, political, intellectual, and religious contexts, as well as the ideologies and symbolisms imbedded in the arts, history and culture or Europeans. This SINQ leads to the European Studies Cluster.
