This proseminar offered by European Union Center staff explores a variety of subjects related to Europe, the European Union, and issues concerning the European Union Center’s academic programming. Topics covered range from current political, cultural and scientific issues in Europe; different disciplinary perspectives on Europe; and aspects of professional development such as mentorship, networking, and the presentation of a profession self. The seminar provides a kind of “laboratory” space for students to improve their analytical and communication skills for academic and professional conversations on Europe, from research to career interests.
