Section Title: Trauma Thru Athen Drama Section Info: Thinking about Trauma through Athenian Drama: Ancient theater offered the space for reflecting upon the violence and trauma for its original audiences and for contemporary societies. This course focuses on the experiences of the ancients with war, trauma, and the plight of veterans, prisoners of war, and refugees. It also looks beyond Athenian theater to modern adaptations by theater companies, playwrights, directors and speaks to modern issues, making the plays respond to the ravages of contemporary wars, the experience of refugees, and gender violence: allowing them to speak directly to communities of color and issues of social justice. Readings include both ancient Greek plays and modern adaptations of select plays.

Special Approval: Instructor Approval Required Section Title: GRK Natlism & Imp Imaginations Section Info: Greek Nationalism and the Imperial Imagination. This study abroad course explores narratives about the Greek nation as they developed in Greece, Europe, and the Americas after the Greek war of independence (1821). Engaging with primary and secondary sources, we adopt a critical lens and ask questions about Greece’s multicultural and multi-confessional imperial pasts leading up to Greece’s current identity crisis. Emphasis is given to forms of artistic and literary expression read alongside historical sources. Students will visit Athens, Nafplio, Mesologhi, and Ioannina and will get a chance to meet and interact with social entrepreneurs in the center of Athens. Familiarity with the modern Greek language is a plus but not required. The course will meet on campus in April 2023 and in Greece from May 13-28, 2023.
