HIST 3352 Race, Ethnicity, and Religion in Medieval Europe

This course explores how medieval Europeans in various settings thought about their identities and when and why they emphasized particular ones. We will look at religious and ethnic conflict, multicultural spaces, and intersectional overlap, but also instances when such differences did not matter. Doing so will illuminate the choices medieval people made to activate—or not—specific identities in specific circumstances and the ways these choices altered the racial, ethnic, and religious categories themselves.
