EEER 21 Introduction to Baltic History & Culture
This course introduces the history and culture of the Baltic region. It explores the region’s history from the prehistoric (including Baltic folklore) and medieval periods to the present day, with special emphasis on the period of nation-states, from the mid-nineteenth century through the twentieth century, and on the current moment. We will examine how the histories and cultures of these countries have been shaped by their peculiar geographical and linguistic circumstances, and their proximity to both Europe and Russia/the Soviet Union. Each week will feature a different excursion or guest speaker to further illuminate our course’s topics.
