This class focuses on Europe from the end of World War II until today. We will discuss topics such as the bipolar world order, the creation of the European welfare state, Europe’s volatile relations with the US and the Soviet Union/ Russia, decolonization, 1989 and neoliberalism, racism, and the emergence of the European Union. Expect to spend 25% of class time in group work, where we discuss the assigned academic literature, movies, documentaries, textual and visual primary sources.
