Desc:THE MAKING OF THE MIDDLE AGES - This course discusses the major issues, debates, problems, themes, and methods, adopted and adapted by historians of the Middle Ages since the nineteenth century. Each week students will explore the various methodologies for discovering and reading primary sources and how such methods and discoveries are transformed by historians into scholarly articles and books. Topics to be discussed include: the Christianization of the Roman Empire and the early medieval West; slavery and serfdom; the rise of Islam; the relationship of popes to kings; the fall and rise of cities and villages; the relationship of medieval Jews to Christians; Latin and the formation of vernacular literature; ideas of knighthood; heresy and the inquisition; the history of religion; the philosophy of history: how the writing of history is related to the evocation of the past; is history a humanistic or scientific discipline or a mix of both; and what were the Middle Ages and what is historical truth? Students will participate in weekly discussions and write two 8-12 page papers.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
