Honors study tour course, with travel to Berlin, Germany immediately following autumn quarter 2009.
In 1949, Germany and Berlin were the focus of worldwide attention - The Berlin Airlift was winding down, the two German states came into being, the Cold War got underway. This course will interpret the events of the past 60 years, including the Berlin Wall's rise and Fall (1961-1989) and the Unification of Germany into the so-called "Berlin Republic" (1990-present), surely one of the most dynamic periods of modern urban cultural history anywhere. Embedded in the course is attendance at an international conference for the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Wall to be held on the UC campus (8-9 November) and the requirement for participation in a one-week study tour to Berlin in December 2009.
