HIS 400 Greece and Rome Exposed
The lives of men and women in Classical Greece and Rome were effectively defined by two spheres: public and private. This dichotomy affected most aspects of life, everything from family life and relationships between the sexes, to religious beliefs and practices, to leisure activities, to societal expectations and norms. This course will use a broad array of primary and secondary evidence, including art and literature, to explore life in the ancient world, and to analyze the ways in which the divide between public and private is different from that in our own society.

HIS 401 The Vikings

HIS 403 The European Witch Craze
Between the 15th and 17th centuries, many Europeans became increasingly concerned about the phenomenon of witchcraft, viewing accused witches as enemies of society and pawns of the devil, who needed to be eliminated. This time of heightened fear and panic often has been dubbed “The Witch Craze,” and can be seen as an illustration of a society in transition. This course traces the intellectual, religious, and social changes in society responsible for new ideas and beliefs toward witchcraft, as well as explores the growing fear of witches and the ensuing hysteria and persecutions that gripped Europe.
