This course examines the Middle East through its various voices with a focus on cultural representations and self-identification. Students will be introduced to cultural patterns and ideologies that will help them reach the cultural competence required for their pragmatic experiences with a Middle Eastern community. The materials used throughout vary in order to present the students with an alternative perception of the Middle East and thus most probably a new and different appreciation of this region and its people.
