more about the program
Reenacting German and American Identities
"Myth making can create surprising communities and stretch dialogue across the borders. This program, deeply grounded in the interdisciplinary liberal arts, a hallmark of the UW Honors Program, Education, and American Studies at Humboldt and Jena Universities, provides students with an in-depth comparative look at cultural tokenism and investigates the narratives of identity and its dynamic reformulation. Identity construction as related to identity politics of nation-states and cultural and social groups is a central theme specifically looking at American and German territories."
