Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

This course will cover current events in Europe as they unfold during the semester. Each week the two meetings will features a topic day in which students learn about a current issue of importance for Europe and a analytical day in which we see how social science tools and methods can help us better understand that issue. Faculty from across the university will be invited to deepen students' understanding of elections, European Union actions and debates, refugee issues, security issues, and other relevant political and social events occurring in Europe. The course will respond flexibly to unforeseen events, teach students to become intelligent consumer of high quality news sources on Europe, expose students to different points of view on these issues, and introduce them to relevant social science theories and methods.
