GENERAL DESCRIPTION Shortly after the inception of the University of Maryland European Program in 1949 with off-duty classes for military personnel, it became obvious that a similar college-level educational opportunity should be provided for the dependents of service personnel and of other Government employees - an opportunity which would not be restricted to evening classes alone. Accordingly, the High Commissioner for Germany authorized the Commander of Southern Area Command to establish facilities in Munich's McGraw Kaserne for a resident college. In response to his invitation, Maryland started the first classes in October, 1950, with 44 students. Since that date, enrollment has increased steadily to the present figure of 550. The University of Maryland in Munich is a fully accredited American college under the supervision of University College and the direct re­ sponsibility of a Resident Dean. The curriculum consists of freshman and sophomore liberal arts courses and is directed toward giving the student a basic preparation for his final two years of college regardless of the institution to which he transfers or the major study he elects. 5 ADMISSION The University of Maryland Campus in Munich, Germany, is open to graduates of accredited high schools who are dependent sons and daughters or bonafide members of the household' of personnel in the US Armed Forces, of civilian employees of the US Armed Forces, and of other per­ sonnel entitled to logistical support while actively serving and residing within the European Command. The minimum scholastic requirement for admission of high school graduates to the Munich Campus is a 2.0 or C average in major subjects during the last two years of high school. A student desiring to transfer from another college must not be dismissed, suspended, or on academic or disciplinary probation. He must have maintained

    38 KAS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 10|2015 MICROSTATE AND SUPERPOWER THE VATICAN IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS Christian E. Rieck / Dorothee Niebuhr At the end of September, Pope Francis met with a triumphal reception in the United States. But while he performed the first canonisation on U.S. soil in Washington and celebrated mass in front of two million faithful in Philadelphia, the attention focused less on the religious aspects of the trip than on the Pope’s vis- its to the sacred halls of political power. On these occasions, the Pope acted less in the role of head of the Church, and therefore Christian E. Rieck a spiritual one, and more in the role of diplomatic actor. In New is Desk officer for York, he spoke at the United Nations Sustainable Development Development Policy th and Human Rights Summit and at the 70 General Assembly. In Washington, he was in the Department the first pope ever to give a speech at the United States Congress, of Political Dialogue which received widespread attention.

The reasons for this enhanced media visibility firstly have to do with the person, the agenda and the biography of this first non-European Pope.

  • Biography CHARLOTTE C. BAER, MD October 11, 1908 - August 15, 1973 Dr
    Biography CHARLOTTE C. BAER, MD October 11, 1908 - August 15, 1973 Dr. Charlotte Baer was born into a medical family of Wiesbaden, Germany where her father was a practicing physician. He served with distinction in the medical corps of the German Army in World War I and was decorated for his services. It was perhaps natural that his daughter, an only child, would attend medical school. Her father saw to it that at an appropriate time in her life she also attended a cooking school, which, no doubt, accounted for her excellence as a cook, a trait which continued throughout her lifetime. In the European tradition, she attended medical schools throughout Europe and, more than that, lived for varying periods of time in countries other than Germany, giving her considerably more than an elementary knowledge of foreign languages. By the time of her arrival in the United States, she could converse not only in German, but also in English, French, and Italian. As the result of her medical studies, she received MD degrees from the Goethe Medical School Frankfurt am Main and the University of Berne, Switzerland. Throughout her college and medical school years, she found time to continue her enthusiasm for swimming and, in fact, became the intercollegiate breaststroke-swimming champion of Europe. By the time of the Berlin Olympics, she was not permitted to compete for the German team by the Nazi regime because of her Jewish heritage. She did, however, attend the Olympic Games in Berlin and recounted with great pleasure seeing Jesse Owens receive his three gold medals for track and field events withAdolph Hitler being among those present in the stadium.

This qualitative study examines the biographical constellations which have led to the decision to go on pilgrimage and therefore a typology of biographical motivations was developed. To achieve the aim of a typology, methods of qualitative research were used. The database consists of narrative interviews that were undertaken mostly with German pilgrims. The life stories of the pilgrims were analysed with Grounded Theory Methodology and made into a typology of five main types of pilgrims: balance pilgrim, crisis pilgrim, time-out pilgrim, transitional pilgrim, new start pilgrim.

  • Jews, Ethnicity and Identity in Early Modern Hamburg
    UC Berkeley TRANSIT Title Jews, Ethnicity and Identity in Early Modern Hamburg Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4qc3v86m Journal TRANSIT, 3(1) Author Bell, Dean P Publication Date 2007-06-22 DOI 10.5070/T731009717 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Introduction: The Nature of Early Modern German Jewish Communities At the beginning of the seventeenth century there were probably no more than 40,000 Jews living in Germany, accounting for less than one percent of the total population. 1 Despite their small number, these Jews settled widely across Germany, in hundreds of different places, including large urban communities, as well as bustling towns outside large cities and even small rural outposts. As such, the concept of Jewish community was a multivalent one in early modern Germany, with Jews forming communities that could be simultaneously local and regional. At the same time, Jews also constituted something of a broader community as Jews of the German Empire or, more simply, as early modern Jews who lived in many different parts of the world. Early modern Jewish identity, therefore, was at once local or regional and universal. 2 Early modern German Jews could define their communities in many different ways, based on geography, religious practices, history, communal governing structures, and even the broader politics (civic, territorial and imperial) in which the Jews themselves lived. Some early modern Jewish communities were well established with roots stretching back several hundred years; most communities, however, suffered significant ruptures and were either re-constituted after pogroms or expulsions or newly formed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

  • Pilgrimage and Religion: Pilgrim Religiosity on the Ways of St. James
    religions Article Pilgrimage and Religion: Pilgrim Religiosity on the Ways of St. James Patrick Heiser Institute of Sociology, FernUniversität in Hagen, 58084 Hagen, Germany; [email protected] Abstract: Pilgrimages on the Ways of St. James are becoming increasingly popular, so the number of pilgrims registered in Santiago de Compostela has been rising continuously for several decades. The large number of pilgrims is accompanied by a variety of motives for a contemporary pilgrimage, whereby religion is only rarely mentioned explicitly. While pilgrimage was originally a purely religious practice, the connection between pilgrimage and religion is less clear nowadays. Therefore, this paper examines whether and in which way religion shows itself in the context of contemporary pilgrimages on the Ways of St. James. For this purpose, 30 in-depth biographical interviews with pilgrims are analyzed from a sociological perspective on religion by using a qualitative content analysis. This analysis reveals that religion is manifested in many ways in the context of contemporary pilgrimages, whereby seven forms of pilgrim religiosity can be distinguished. They have in common that pilgrims shape their pilgrim religiosity individually and self-determined, but in doing so they rely on traditional and institutional forms of religion. Today’s pilgrim religiosity can therefore be understood as an extra-ordinary form of lived religion, whose popularity may be explained by a specific interrelation of individual shaping and institutional assurance of evidence.

  • An Intersectionality Approach to Understanding Turkish Women's Educational Attainment in Germany Dissertation Presented In
    An Intersectionality Approach to Understanding Turkish Women’s Educational Attainment in Germany Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mary Kate Gaebel, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Bryan Warnick, Advisor Dr. Robert Lawson, Co-Advisor Dr. Sebnem Cilesiz Dr. Binaya Subedi Copyright by Mary Kate Gaebel 2012 Abstract This dissertation has two main foci: first, on the experiences of Turkish women in the German educational system, and to what extent state policies, cultural pressures, and personal choice influence their decision to pursue higher education; second, how state policies, cultural artifacts and official documents can elucidate these women’s individual accounts. This dissertation is further framed by the following sub-questions: In what ways do women of Turkish descent employ both ‘Germanness’ and ‘Turkishness’ to successfully navigate the educational system and to resist educational and social marginalization? What tensions arise between these socially-constructed identities? To explore these questions, this dissertation employs both in-depth, semi-structured interviews with women of Turkish descent in Berlin and document and cultural artifact analysis. Chapter 1 offers an overview of the discourse used to construct the Turkish female immigrant stereotype as unwilling and unable to integrate into German society, Chapter 2 is dedicated to using the current literature in the field to frame this discourse in an historical, social, and cultural context. Chapter 3 addresses the use of intersectionality as the methodological tool in this dissertation, the aim of which is to address identity as a dialogue between the individual and larger structures of power and that categories of identity, as processes constructed through power relations, hold both internal and external components.
