Course Description
The course examines the important role of British authors in negotiations on the meanings of “East” and “West” in Jewish and global contexts. It addresses the following questions: What is a diaspora? What is “Orientalism”? How did the notions of “Europe” and the “Orient” emerge, and how did European Jews take them up and transform them to define their place among European nation states and in the Jewish diaspora? How do Jews and the “Orient” figure in new approaches to Religious Studies in a post-secular world? The course explores the various ways European Jews responded to the powerful idea of a “Jewish Orient”, and how their responses had a profound impact on how they understood their presence in Europe, their history and future as a nation (Zionism), and their religious commitments.

Course Description
This course introduces students to the history, institutions, workings, and future of the European Union (EU). The first half of the course is dedicated to describing the most important EU institutions, including the Commission, the Council, the Parliament, and the ECB, also in their relationships with the member states. The second half of the course examines some of the fundamental challenges facing the EU as it seeks to become more competitive, to integrate further existing states into a fuller political economic Union, to enlarge its membership, and to develop a viable common global trade policy and a more effective and coherent common foreign policy. The course also examines the political, economic, and social convulsions, still evolving in many cases, resulting from the European financial crisis of recent years. The course analyzes, with the benefit of first-hand experience, the conflict between the traditional theoretical aims of the European Union and the complex practical political reality of achieving those aims. To this end a number of case-studies are analyzed and debated during the course.

Course Description
This course provides students with substantial knowledge of European Human Rights Law by looking at the functioning and the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Based in Strasbourg, France, the ECtHR is among the most powerful human rights bodies in the world. This course gives students the chance to learn about the procedure before the Court, its organization as well as about the main issues adjudicated by the Court under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The course starts by giving an overview of the Council of Europe, the “mother organization” of the ECtHR, of the ECHR and of the ECtHR. Then the course teaches students how to bring an application to the ECtHR, how the ECtHR renders its judgements, and how the Court interprets the ECHR. The last part of the course approaches the issue of jurisdiction of the ECtHR, the problem of derogations from the ECHR and explains how the Court interpreted the ECHR with a focus on the prohibition of torture, the right to respect for private and family life, and the prohibition of discrimination.

Course Description
This course explores Jewish culture in Central Europe, covering the most significant periods, movements, and representations. Topics include the importance of Renaissance rabbis and scientific discoveries in early modern Europe, the large Central European centers of Jewish thought, the transition of Europe from the old order of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the formation of national states, the onset of Nazism, and the circles of Jewish writers and intellectuals in the Central European capitals. The course also discusses the little researched and long disappeared world of wealthy industrialists, gaining rare insights into the world of large art collections which were mostly looted by the Nazis. The course examines “final solution of the Jewish questions” through the optics of notable Central European authors and filmmakers. The course consists of lectures, discussions, group work, student presentations, and excursions, including a mandatory one-day trip to Kolín.

Course Description
Concentrating on the novel, this course examines a series of major issues in relation to 19th-century literature: its relations to revolution in the aesthetic, political, and social spheres; its awareness of the world beyond the frontiers of Metropolitan France; its focus on the seemingly real and the everyday; its formal experimentation; and its preoccupation with the new category of experience called "modernité." Students read three of the most popular novels of the first decades of the century, by Cottin, Chateaubriand, and Duras, then consider the cultural and political battles around three longer novels by Hugo, Flaubert, and Zola while asking what makes these texts so influential to the present day.
