Key topics are: federalism and diversity, free speech and diversity, religious freedom and diversity, and affirmative action and diversity. Students will be exposed to all sides of the key debates. The course is not designed to promote specific viewpoints. Special attention will be paid to the transformation of legal language over time and the manner in which social values enter into constitutional argumentation.

This course seeks to explore possible intersections (and divergences) between Black German, Turkish German and German Jewish experiences and aesthetic interventions into German public and political discourses on memory, racism, citizenship, immigration, and history. We'll engage in close readings of literary texts in tandem with secondary sources, examining similarities, overlap, and differences.

The Grail is the most famous and most misunderstood symbol from the Middle Ages. The Grail did not start out as the cup from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper. Based on Celtic myths and guarded by a mysterious order of knights (in some versions the Templars), it was a magical dish or a stone that gave youth and long life, and it functioned as a horn of plenty providing whatever food or drink one desired.
