The course’s second goal is to examine Eastern Europe and Africa and their interconnectedness in the global Cold War. The course will investigate different aspects of socialist internationalism and use this topic as a case study for working skills. During the first part of the semester, the course will discuss socialist internationalism between Eastern Europe and the postcolonial world based on the reading materials available on Moodle. The second part of the semester will focus on developing student-led projects. The course will offer a list of topics that students can choose and employ their working skills on. After the individual and group research period that will be class-free, there will be a mock conference where students will present their findings and provide feedback to others. The projects will form the basis for term papers to be submitted at the end of the semester.
