Europe from decline of Rome to early Renaissance. Politics, institutions, society, economy, and culture of Middle Ages.
Class Description:
Far from being a dark and dismal age when nothing happened and life was "nasty, brutish, and short," the Middle Ages (c. 500-1500) was a time of rapid and sometimes disconcerting social, cultural, and political change. The unity Roman imperial rule had given to the lands around the Mediterranean basin was shattered forever, and in its place arose three remarkable cultures ? Islamic, Byzantine, and European. By tracing the emergence of these sibling societies, students will have the chance to explore how religious and cultural categories that are fundamental to modern identities, such as ?Christian,? ?Muslim,? ?European,? and ?Western,? first gained currency. Topics will include: the fall of Rome; the Barbarian invasions; the rise of Islam; Charlemagne; the Vikings; heresy and inquisition; the Crusades; medieval castles and cathedrals; the Mongols; the Black Death; the Peasants Revolt; the Hundred Years War; Joan of Arc; the Italian Renaissance; voyages of exploration; and, best of all, the heavy plow. The course is suitable for majors, non-majors, and transfer students alike.

Europe from decline of Rome to early Renaissance. Politics, institutions, society, economy, and culture of Middle Ages.
Class Description:
Beginning with Diocletian's division of the Roman Empire into an Eastern and Western half in the year 284 A.D. and continuing until the so-called Age of Exploration that began just prior to the year 1500 A.D., this class will expose students to the major events, themes, and historical ?problems? of the Middle Ages. While the emergence and development of a unique Latin Christian civilization in Western Europe during this period will constitute our primary focus, we will place a strong emphasis on the importance of its regular and lasting contacts, conflicts, and connections with the wider world around it, especially the civilizations of Byzantium and Islam. Through a combination of lectures, small-group discussions, textbook assignments, and extensive reading of primary sources, students will gain a better understanding and appreciation for the wondrous medieval period--vikings and crusaders, saints and sinners, prophets (and profits!) and popes, tournaments and romance, castles and cathedrals, pilgrimage and plague--while also being trained in the valuable and diversely applicable skills essential to practicing the historian's craft. These include the critical reading and analysis of documents, the framing of a persuasive argument, the identification and effective use of evidence, and the ability to write clearly and purposefully. Assessment will be based on 2 in-class exams (a mid-term and a final), four brief (1-2) page written responses, class attendance and preparation, and discussion participation. Meets Liberal Education requirements of Global Perspectives (was International Perspectives) and Historical Perspectives.

Course Catalog Description:
Europe from decline of Rome to early Renaissance. Politics, institutions, society, economy, and culture of Middle Ages.
Class Description:
Situated between the supposed magnificence of the Greco-Roman classical period and the questionable majesty of the 'Renaissance' of the early modern era, the Middle Ages (500-1500 CE) are often maligned as a thousand years of civilizational collapse--a millennium of political fragmentation, religious superstition, rudimentary socioeconomic structures (mud huts), minimal scientific advancements, and general barbarianism. However, there is more myth than history to such wild claims. In this class, we will examine how the Middle Ages were not a millennium of stagnation but, rather, a truly dynamic era during which the institutions and ideas of the classical world were adapted and elaborated into something new, vibrant, and deeply formative for the modern world. Indeed, the medieval period was the very crucible from which emerged the institutions, concepts, and values that characterize modern societies in both East and West. And so, beginning in the third century, we will investigate the historical development of medieval Europe, the Byzantine Empire, and the Islamicate World through topics such as: the barbarian/Germanic migrations and the 'collapse' of the Roman Empire, the conversion of Europe to Latin Christianity, the Mediterranean trade networks, iconoclasm in the Byzantine Empire, the rise of the Islamic Caliphate, the Viking invasions, the Crusades, the Twelfth-Century Renaissance, the Mongols, heresy and inquisitions, the Black Death, and many more. Throughout the class, we will also take note of how contemporary concerns have informed and often misinformed the study of medieval history during the modern era, sometimes for explicit propagandistic purposes. Finally, daily discussions will revolve around primary source readings and visual materials which will form the basis of your papers for the course.

Europe from decline of Rome to early Renaissance. Politics, institutions, society, economy, and culture of Middle Ages.
Class Description:
The course examines sex, religion, war, disease, and other topics during the European Middle Ages (ca. 500-1500). We will cover the transformation of the Roman Empire, the development of Christianity, the rise of the Carolingians, the Papacy, Heresy, the Crusades, the development of Islam, the Black Death, and the Hundred Year's War. In addition to Western Europe, we will venture into Russia, Byzantium, the Middle East, and other areas. We will also be thinking about how the Middle Ages are portrayed in modern society by watching a few films that attempt to recreate the Middle Ages. This is a broad survey of the period, so no prior experience in the topic is expected. Grading will be based on independent book reviews on books/topics that interest students, two in-class exams, and participation.
