This four-week program combines classroom study with on-site research that exposes students to the transform-ing European urban environment. Learn how drastic geopolitical changes (the aftermath of WWII, ethnic and national upheavals, the fall of Communism, democratiza-tion and European integration) play out in the local set-ting of a European city and affect its inhabitants. While the program is based in Wrocław, a historical and academic center of southwest Poland, students will also enjoy academic excursions to Kraków, Auschwitz, Berlin and Prague. Students will be housed in comfortable two-person dormitory rooms in Wrocław. Classes will be taught in English by faculty from the University of Lower Silesia. Tutorials in beginning, intermediate and ad-vanced Polish language will also be available. COURSE OFFERINGS: All students will enroll in the following two courses for a total of six credit hours. LITR 202 Explorations in Modernity: Lessons from Central Europe (cross-listed with INTS 204) Looking at politics through the lens of literature, art and film, the course will examine Central Europe - the home of the first written European constitution, nationalism, Communism, and anti-authoritarian revolts. The course will discuss the role writers, poets and artists have played in instigating and nourishing modern movements in politics and culture. POST 299 Urban Research Seminar (cross-listed with INTS 292) Learn about the underlying cultural, historic and social forces at play in the making of Central Europe through experiential learning. Students will work in groups and research a particular neighborhood of Wrocław that em-bodies the complex and multi-layered identity of the city. SCHOLARSHIPS: The Frank Kujawinski Polish Immersion Fund offers three scholarships for which participating students may apply. The application deadline is March 1, 2012.
