HIST 304

This course explores the great cultural revolution known as the Renaissance from a number of perspectives, considering new developments in the arts, political theory, historical awareness, material culture, science, and technology as interrelated phenomena. Rather than approaching the Renaissance as an exclusively European phenomenon, the course considers this movement as a product of interactions between different cultures across the Mediterranean and Asia, including the Mongol and Ottoman Empires, Mamluk sultanate, and Italian city-states, as well as between European and Indigenous peoples in the Americas.

Offered every other year.
