Leerdoelen

This short course aims to provide an introduction to Dutch culture and society that will serve as an elementary basis for further study in the field.

Inhoud

Among the themes that will be discussed are the structure of the society (political system, religion, pluriformity, education, research, mass media, the (de-)pillarisation); demography and spatial planning (the 'Randstad' and the 'Green heart', urban sociology and migration); Dutch social policy (viz. welfare and health care, ethnic minorities and pluriformity); Dutch history, Dutch lanquage, literature and arts; controversial and contemporary ethical-social issues and Dutch socio-cultural identity. The course is highly interactive and students are expected to come up with their own experiences in their daily life in the Netherlands and relate these to the topic of the class. Students finish this class with a poster presentation and a written paper about a Dutch issue of their own interest.
