HIST113 PO - Medieval Spain and the Idea of ‘Convivencia’

When Offered: Fall 2021.
Instructor(s): K. Wolf
Credit: 1

It is widely appreciated that Christians, Muslims and Jews lived together (that is, experienced “convivencia”) for significant portions of medieval Spanish history and benefited materially and culturally from such proximity. Of late “convivencia” has become the focus of increased attention, as people in the post-9/11 world turn to history for signs of hope that Christians, Muslims and Jews really can get along. In this course we will take a critical and nuanced look at the idea of “convivencia” and how it relates to the historical realities of medieval Spain. Letter grade only. Previously offered as HIST118  PO.
