MEDITERRANEAN WORLD SINCE 1500
With uniformity and diversity in the Mediterranean world as its overarching theme, this course examines the singularly important role of "the sea between the lands" from the fall of Rome to the present day. Concentrating on the lands and people of the Northern shore from Gibraltar to Anatolia, the focus alternates between thematic approaches to the Mediterranean region as a whole and specific attention to the sub-regional histories of Iberia, Italy, and the Balkans.
