- Oktatás célja
- This course is designed to investigate and better understand Europe’s largest and traditionally most severely marginalized group, the Roma. While much of European scholarship - including, but not limited to anthropology, sociology, legal studies, minority rights studies and linguistics – has focused heavily on both Western and Central European Roma populations, a more limited endeavor over the last several decades has been undertaken in the diverse regions of the Balkan peninsula. The central goal of this course is to not only introduce some of the most recent and dynamic studies in anthropology on the Roma peoples in the Balkans, but to also attempt to widen the scope of our understanding of national, ethnic and religious minorities across Central Europe, namely, and the world, generally. Through readings and in-depth discussion, we will explore many relevant themes as they pertain to the Roma in the Balkans, and tackle the central themes concerning the national, ethnic and religious minorities in Central (“Eastern”) Europe
