Slavic 4597: Politics of Language in SE Europe

In an increasingly global world, language is a key to the articulation of ethnicity and the struggle for power. This course looks at the social and political import of language in Southeast Europe (i.e. the Balkan countries + a few neighbors). Students will explore how linguistic histories and structures have been foundational to the formation of modern Balkan ethnic and religious identities, and how language has been and continues to be manipulated to shape political and social structure. Taught in English.
