Course objectives
At the end of the course the students will be able to: understand the motivation of emigrants from the Czech Lands to south-eastern and eastern Europe, to define geographically the directions of Czech transmigration mainly throughout the 19th century, name, identify and explain the specifics and variabilities of individual Czech enclaves, describe the evolution, co-existence, and outlook of individual Czech ethnic diasporas depending on the local context. The ability of identification and understanding the question of Czech emigration will enable the students to interpret and describe the wider context of the co-existence of individual enclaves with the majority community, to understand the basic theoretical and practical methods of their studies, and to demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of the field of the situation of minorities in south-eastern Europe.
