This course is an interdisciplinary study of three global cultures, one being American. The course focuses on a significant place and time in each culture’s history. These cultures are examined through two sets of sources: literary works and a collection of academic writings, pictures, maps, and artifacts. The course pays special attention to how cultures support specific social hierarchies and moral systems. Three lecture hours per week.
