Examines literature and culture from a region or regions situated at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, such as Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan), the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and parts of Southern Russia), or other cultural crossroads in Eurasia. It thus departs from a historic focus on western regions to accommodate the richness and diversity of literature and culture in Eurasia. Topics will vary by instructor. Topics may include: "Armenian Literature," "Literatures of Central Asia," or "Literatures of the Caucasus." Taught in English.
