Byzantine, Ottoman, and Turkish History and Culture

Because of its strategic location between Europe and Asia, Istanbul has played a key role in the history of the world since the emperor Con­stantine made it the capital of the eastern Roman Empire in the year 330 and named it Constantinople. Trace the evolution of this great city by examining the well-preserved monuments of Roman/Byzantine civilization, exploring the mosques and palaces of the Ottoman centuries, and experiencing the culture and hospitality of modern Turkey. The on-cam­pus course in autumn quarter is followed by travel to Istan­bul from November 30 to December 14. Earn eight credits total for ENG 398 and 389 (also fulfills “Understanding the Past” and “Arts & Liter­ature”). Program Faculty: Dr. Jeremy Mulderig and Dr. Carolyn Goffman.
