The course pivots on case-study investigations of (1) the societal factors that underlie Europe’s often nationalist responses to recent immigration from the Middle East in particular, and (2) the social and cultural factors that make up the backdrop to the troubled relationship between Europe and Turkey. Through sociological analysis of these cases, you will develop a capacity to analyze and pass critical judgment on how cultural diversity affects social capital.
