European countries claim to protect and recognize their minorities, but they increasingly demand de facto assimilation of their immigrants. This course will introduce you to the cross-cultural encounters that immigration into long-established and homogenous European nation states has given rise to. It will combine hands-on and theoretical approaches to issues of integration, assimilation, identity struggles, and multiculturalism.
