What research has led to this request?
Over the past several years there has been a surge in popularity surrounding vikings and North Germanic mythology in American and German popular cultures generally. There is also a parallel rise of sub-cultures and hate-groups in Germany and many other countries that appropriate the imagery and myths of proto-medieval North Germanic cultures in order to build a racially-centered and fictionalized German past. It is vital that our students understand the Northern Germanic source material in order to be able to analyze, deconstruct, and counter the racist and nationalist arguments made by these groups.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
This will be a regular offering among upper level German classes. It could also lead to an area studies program with Anth/Geo, and potentially other departments.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
None.
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
It'll be taught in the normal teaching load.
