ARIC 000/5102 - Cairo in the Cultural Imaginary (3 cr.)

Description
“Cairo in the Cultural Imaginary” is conceived as an interdisciplinary, 4000-level, capstone course designed to provide a framework within which students can re-experience Cairo by analyzing aspects of its cultural history and urban formation that lie outside of their ordinary orbit. The course will be organized around a series of modules, each focused on a specialized aspect of Cairo’s urban and cultural history. It will be structured as a combination of classroom sessions, field trips, walking tours, films, and performances and will be supplemented by guest lectures from within and outside the department.
