HIST 001U. First-Year Seminar: Defining an “Us”: Nationalism, Culture, and Identity in Modern Europe


This course examines how populations come to see themselves as part of a single community. That community, in some instances called a nation or nation-state (or even an empire), can demand loyalty. It can also be exclusionary, sometimes with violent outcomes. We will examine the emergence of cultural and national identities in 19th- and 20th-century Europe through thematic investigations of four intertwined ways such identities might be forged: land, language, symbols, and blood.
Concentrations: Culture and Identity; Empires and Nations
Social sciences.
