Syllabus Description (from Canvas):

Master the ability to place the present-day Slavs, their lands and peoples, on a geopolitical map

and develop an understanding of the complexities of living in diverse Slavic societies.

Consequently, you will be able to speak about most important features

(geography, politics, language, literature, culture) of each country 

under the domination of the present-day Slavs.

You will necessarily be equipped to juxtapose

views stemming both from within Slavdom,

the present-day Slavs themselves,

and from outside Slavdom,

including institutions such as

the United Nations and

the European Union, 

thus encouraged

to think critically

on topics such as 

power, marginality,

and sociocultural relevance,

as well as effective communication across cultural differences.
