ANT 300 - THE MEDITERRANEAN WORLD

This course addresses recent cultural, social and political changes in the Mediterranean area, but from a historical perspective. The course will combine theoretical discussions with case studies from the three main regions of the Mediterranean area: the Middle East, North Africa, and Southern Europe. While stressing a comparative perspective, regional variations will be addressed
throughout the course. The approach is multi-disciplinary, combining anthropology, sociology, history and political science. The first part of the course will address mainly cultural themes, while the second part of the course will address mainly political themes.

Pre-requisites: Junior or Senior standing. This course satisfies the oral presentation
requirement.
