GER 270 - Investigating German Pasts & Presents (1)

This block abroad, led by Prof. Dr. Tyler Carrington, is your passport to the pasts and presents of three dynamic cities in the German-speaking world. Starting in Vienna, Austria, moving through the Alps and north to Munich, Germany, and ending in the cosmopolitan German capital of Berlin, this course will explore the cultural, linguistic, social, political, and environmental foundations of Germany and Austria. In each city, we will focus on a particularly fascinating historical context and also measure its significance and relevance in the present. Students will engage hands-on with cities, buildings, artifacts, and archival materials, and they will dive headlong into the visual, culinary, and sensory treats of these magnificent cities. This course will become the touchstone of a life-long fascination with German-speaking Europe and equip them with a wealth of perspectives and experiences that will open up untold doors for their lives and careers. Every third year. This course is pre-approved for transcript notation in the Ingenuity in Action category, Global Connections.
