Study cultural diversity, migration, and integration from a Danish and European lens.

What is unique about this program?

• Through workshops with diverse guest speakers, take part in debates that handle the most current issues of our society.
• During Core Course Week and on field studies in Copenhagen, explore the transition of previously homogeneous Denmark and neighboring countries brought about by immigration from non-Western countries. 
• Travel on a faculty-led study tour to hear personal stories and explore current issues surrounding cultural divisions and political tensions. 

What is unique about Copenhagen?

Denmark is facing an increasing number of migrants from non-Western societies. Traditionally a homogeneous welfare state, Denmark is struggling to deal with the new minorities and the challenge of successful integration.

Issues of cultural conflicts and their effects on the social cohesion of Danish society are inevitable, and Copenhagen is the classroom in which you will observe and challenge your own opinions on the social, political, and cultural implications of these conflicts.
