REES240 is an introductory survey of modern eastern Mediterranean societies with a special focus on Croatia and its neighbouring countries. The course examines the historical, cultural, economic, and socio-political interconnectedness of these societies, situated at the crossroads of both East/West and North/South communication and commerce. Students will discuss different perspectives on issues such as cultural diversity, gender relations, migration, and the place of the Mediterranean in the human imagination, developing critical thinking skills by analyzing relevant readings and engaging in independent research.​
Readings and discussions are in English.
