Multiculturalism, Ethnic Diversity, and Debates about Them in Contemporary Europ

Catalog description

This course will explore ethnic and cultural diversity in contemporary Europe, especially Germany. All of these countries have become increasingly diverse ethnically and culturally over the last few decades, and there have been significant debates about immigration and willingness (or lack thereof) to accept refugees from other parts of the world. Some have celebrated Europe's increasing multiculturalism and diversity, whereas others have criticized it. The goal of the course is to look at both multiculturalism and diversity and also the critics of multiculturalism and diversity.
