Description:

Stressing student initiative and research, this seminar focuses on Jerusalem: Jerusalem, sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims; Jerusalem, bloodied by history and in the current struggle between Israel and Palestine. Readings range from Scripture to daily newspapers; topics range from the concept of sacred space to the definition of terror, from crusader architecture to the contemporary architecture of occupation.
