This graduate level seminar is a roundtable discussion exploring a variety of topics related to Europe, transatlantic relations, the European Union, and the peripheries. Students will have an opportunity to participate in regular conversations about current issues ranging from cultural policies, migration, economic policies, bureaucratic politics, labor, electoral processes, sports, popular culture, and other topics of high salience to Europe and the European Union. The seminar aims to improve students’ analytical skills by applying relevant theories from European Union Studies to current events and ongoing European narratives. Students are encouraged to explore their research interests in relation to these issues.
