All of this will allow students to have a better understanding of the current sociopolitical problems and challenges taking place in the Caribbean, while shedding light on broader global dynamics of vulnerability, economic and financial crisis, and the climate crisis.

Schrag, D	Part of Term: A Date Range: 08/24/20-10/16/20 Section Title: Pol of Belong: Nat/Pop in Euro Section Info: This course investigates what is at stake in various processes of European inclusion and exclusion (e.g. the EU, Euroscepticism, citizenship, normative understandings of “European-ness,” etc.). A theme throughout this course will be the ideological construction of a European other (an imaged “not-Europe”) and internal and external othering processes. Special emphasis will be given to studying nationalist populism in Europe (in comparison to the United States) and its relation to neoliberal capitalism, religion, nativism, immigration, and globalization.
