SPAN 380 Topics in the Middle Ages
This course explores approaches the study of the Middle Ages, 11th to13th-centuries, by topics, rather than by focusing on history per se. Some of the topics explored are disability, domestic violence, medicine, social aspects of reproductive situations of women, diversity and (in)equity. It does not concentrate solely on one specific geographical area or one particular Medieval culture, though it mainly concentrates on some cultural aspects of some Western European countries as well as the Middle East. This course aims to show how some of these cultures may be interrelated.
