Greek Society and Pop Culture

1 Credit · Level: Undergraduate

Greek society and popular culture is a 1-credit course taught asynchronously in English. Students are introduced to Greek arts and culture through selected readings, videos, cultural events, television and films, and short individual research projects. Topics covered include family life, current social issues, Greek cuisine, arts and entertainment (including music and sports), social norms and enduring customs and traditions, allowing for differentiation between urban Greeks, island Greeks, and the Greek farming community. Distinctions between native Greek, diaspora Greek, and international perspectives on Greek life and culture are explored.
