Luxembourg: European Context

Catalog description

MUDEC's experience in Luxembourg is unanimously praised by students. However, MUDEC offers no course that deepens the student experience through an academic understanding of the context in which they are living. Miami University chose the Grand Duchy as the site of its European Center because of its geographic location in the heart of Western Europe. The history and culture of the Grand Duchy are closely linked to that of Europe, from ancient, medieval and modern times to the present day. In the contemporary world, Luxembourg, despite its small size (999 square miles) and a population of only 540,000, plays an important role in European politics. This wider European dimension, both past and present, forms the central focus of this course.
