Students are invited to learn more at this Global Education Information Session for The Italian City.
With travel to Bologna, Italy in May of 2022 this course will use cities to narrate a cultural history of Italy, and history to unlock the communal and individual pasts of an Italian city: Bologna. In this program , we will study the history of the Italian city to examine how it has acted as a crucible for the production of economic and intellectual exchange, political and artistic experimentation, scientific breakthroughs, and richly layered forms of cultural identity.
The site of the oldest European university, and one of the oldest laws abolishing slavery, Bologna's medieval past is made palpable with every portico yet it also houses a bustling 21st-century economy, with vivid traces of all the epochs in between.
Through exploration of the city together and the study of local texts and films we will strongly engage with urban spaces and themes to consolidate our understanding of the Italian city and ask new questions about the relationship between city and cultural identity. We will conclude each of the first three weeks with day trips to other
cities.
