ANT 395-01 - Advanced Special Topic: Body and Religion in the Middle Ages

4 credits (Spring)

The Middle Ages (approx. 500-1500 C.E.) was a period of vibrant life and sometimes violent change. In diverse societies, people worked to understand their place in the world, and how to best live in it. Through lectures, readings, and class discussions, we will explore political, religious, social, economic, and gender topics, through historiography and the archaeological/bioarchaeological record. We will also consider how medieval people conceived of and experienced health and disease in the Middle Ages. This course fulfills the Biological Anthropology subfield requirement.

Prerequisite: ANT 104 and second-year standing.
