Nationalism Studies short-term program for international students launched
The Faculty of Humanities of Eötvös Loránd University has launched an exciting short-term program for foreign students, entitled “Nationalism Studies”. The new program, starting in the Autumn Term of 2011/2012, is designed to introduce international students to a continuously developing academic field.
The short-term program on Nationalism Studies in Budapest, Hungary focuses on the fact that nationalism as a field of study is unavoidably inter- and multidisciplinary. The courses are designed to teach students what the humanities have to say about nationalism with special attention to East-Central Europe, where many forms of nation-building can be witnessed and analyzed as a result of the complex history of this region.
The courses announced have been selected to represent the best scholarly intentions on nationalism in the various disciplines (philosophy, political science, history, and literary studies). Students are expected to use a consistent methodology during their studies and in their research and writing. They are also encouraged to combine the results of different disciplines in an innovative way.
Following the reshaping of the states, borders, and nations of Central Europe more than two decades ago the problems of nation, nationhood, national identity, supranational integration, minority protection, ethnic movements, nationalist extremism have emerged as crucial questions of this region, with parallel phenomena throughout Europe and beyond. The courses take these issues into account and offer the students useful and useable knowledge in this field.
Enquires about the course: international@btk.elte.hu (Rudolf Sárdi, Head of International Operations)
Application packages should be sent to: arts@ludens.elte.hu (József Bíró, International Student Manager)
