Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces) Mediterranean Worlds

Current Course Description: Starting with a description of the Pre-Roman societies of the Iberian Peninsula, this course traces the evolution of the cultures and states that developed in the Iberian Peninsula through 1700. The Islamic civilization in medieval Iberia, gradual reconquest of Arab Spain by Christian armies, the emergence of the regional monarchies, the foundations of global empires by Spain and Portugal, and the cultural achievements of early modern Spain and Portugal will be some of the crucial issues structuring this course.

New Course Description: This course will examine the history of the Mediterranean in the 18th and 19th centuries with an emphasis on the decline of Ottoman influence and the rise of European power in the region. The Mediterranean represents the meeting point of three continents (Africa, Asia, and Europe) and of the religions, cultures, and countries of each of these continents. We will examine the notion of strict boundaries among societies and try to understand the Mediterranean Empire as a dynamic, historical construct whose borders were continually traversed and refashioned. The course focuses on the relationship between the Northern and Southern Mediterranean, as well as the Western and Eastern Mediterranean, and compares experiences on different sides of the Mediterranean.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): Faculty changes in history dept
