HIS 295-03 - Special Topic: Sex, Gender, and Family in Europe 1300-17004 credits (Fall)
What did it mean to be a child, woman, or man in medieval and early modern Europe? This course explores the experiences and perspectives of conventional, exemplary, and deviant sorts including crusaders, nuns, washerwomen, courtesans, convicted sodomites, apprentices, slaves, child-kings, physicians, schoolboys, saints, witches, and conquistadors. It examines the construction and reconstruction of identity and sexual and familial relationships in a period of dramatic economic, political, and religious change and increasing entanglement with non-Christian cultures.
