Historical films are surprisingly accurate reflections of modern historiographical trends in the study of the Middle Ages. This course uses films on the Middle Ages, medieval documentary evidence, scholarship from the time the film was released, and current scholarship. It explores the shifts in historical interpretation of the Middle Ages over the past century and engages in debates over what evoking the past means for the scholar and the filmmaker.

Slavery is a field of historical study that continues to undergo considerable transformation within scholarly investigation. As such, scholars have sought to initiate much broader understandings of the evolution of slavery across both time and geographical space. This course utilizes a comparative approach to examine the experiences of enslavement common throughout the African Diaspora, particularly within the United States, the Caribbean, and parts of Latin America. Some themes briefly covered within this course include gender, sexuality, community, resistance, medicine, labor, and culture. As a comparative course, students are challenged to go beyond the traditional narrative of the African-American experience in order to fundamentally understand the linkages of oppression, survival, and even liberation, which arguably shaped the lives of enslaved and free populations within and across the Diaspora.
