CENTRAL EUROPE | PSYC 340

Students embark on a focused study of the role of culture in the psychological, historical, political, and economic dynamics of Central Europe. An emphasis is placed on the psychology of the victim and perpetrator as related to the Nazi regime, the Holocaust, and Communism.

First, students spend time in Prague, Czech Republic visiting cultural and historical sites including Prague Castle, the Jewish Quarter, a psychology clinic, and the Bohemian town of Cesky Krumlov. After taking a train to Krakow, Poland, students tour the Old Town, the Wieliczka Saltmines, and the nearby concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau.

Another train leads to Budapest, Hungary, where students learn more about Hungarian history and the effects of WWII, the Holocaust, and communism by touring Budapest and visiting nearby Szentendre on the Danube River. Students conduct their own cross-cultural research project locally and abroad. The course is offered in the spring semester during which time students complete coursework in preparation for travel at the end of the spring semester in May.
