Rautman, TTh 2 – 3:15, Swallow 110
The course explores the people and material culture of the east Mediterranean during the early Middle Ages. Constantinople's foundation in the 4th century marked a turning point for the Roman empire, which adapted and survived through unsettled times until the 15th century and whose cultural legacy continues today. The course looks at major monuments and current issues by critically reviewing recent approaches to Byzantine art and society and their wider relevance to medieval and early modern studies.

Religious Studies
8005 Medieval Christianities
Gregory, T 2-4:30, A&S 312A
This course considers Christianity between 400 and 1550 as a global religion. Students will learn about the variety of Christianities in Europe, Asia, Africa, and consider important methodological studies in the history of Christianity. We shall also examine questions of periodization, including where the dividing line between “late antique” and “medieval” may be placed, and when “medieval” Christianity ends. Students will read and consider primary source readings in translation alongside academic monographs and journal articles.
