Topic: Honors Seminar on the Black Death. By considering the Black Death as a disease phenomenon that is not only a medical issue but also part of social and cultural life, the course will teach ways of combining textual and visual interpretation with scientific knowledge to more fully appreciate disease and its impact on human life. In particular, this course locates disease and health within the framework of human-environment interaction by focusing on this pivotal moment in world history ? where people from the Eastern and Western parts of Eurasia meet more intensively and when calls for recreating a classical past start to give way to louder calls for reforming the present or making a new age. By dealing with multiple kinds of sources and interpretations, the course seeks to both present knowledge and open issues about this tragic moment in human history by encouraging conversation, discussion and debate about a multidimensional phenomenon using the relatively few sources available for understanding it. For the Honors Program and the History Discipline, especially, this course will seek to both bring focus to and to expand the scope of knowledge about European social, cultural and political history. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Seminar Social Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
