Course description
NOT 2011 This course explores themes of Crusade, conquest, and/or colonization in the Middle Ages by examining their impact on European societies and cultures. It offers students a unique opportunity to combine study and international travel in learning about the cultural, political, and religious ideologies that define the Medieval World. Students will visit destinations selected by the course coordinator, accompanied by lectures/information sessions, museum and site tours, contributing ultimately to a greater appreciation and understanding of the Medieval World, especially the relationships, interaction, and appropriation of ideas between various communities and cultures. This experience seeks to foster an awareness of European traditions to which Australia is indebted. Maximum 20 enrolments - first preference will be given to third year students and further selection will then be based on academic results in history courses.This course may not run if fewer than 20 enrolments.
