Description

 Germany is a cosmopolitan country shaped by a pluralism of lifestyles. Of its 82.6 million inhabitants, almost 20 million have a migration background. Modern Germany has developed into an important immigration country with relatively liberal immigration rules. This demographic change is set to shape Germany more than virtually any other development. People from different cultures, traditions, and religions are now living together in Germany. Through authentic literary texts, movies, podcasts as well as current newspaper articles, this course will look at diversity in German society and how Germany is dealing with its changing identity.

Course Requirements:

Grades will be based on active participation, homework, quizzes, short essays, and two presentations.
