This course treats the language politics of Cyprus — a divided island since 1974, split by a UN buffer zone — as a way into broader discussions of borders, conflict, translation and intercultural communication.
Hosted at the Hagios Ioannis Prodromos nunnery in Northern Greece, seminar participants conduct fieldwork and participate in a workshop that complements their on-site research and cultivates discussions around the broader region’s archaeology, history and social anthropology. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will not be a seminar in 2021.
Combining classroom work with field reporting, this seminar places students on the front lines of the news in Greece, where they will learn and employ . . .
