HST 459 Medieval Saints & Sinners: The History of the Medieval Church
During the Middle Ages, Roman Church shaped the contours of daily experiences-influencing the religious, political, social, and economic life of Europe and defining normative moral behaviors and gender roles for individuals. Nevertheless, study of the medieval Church reveals not a single, monolithic institution but considerable regional diversity in practices and beliefs. This course examines the medieval church, broadly defined, to provide an overview of its institutional structures and hierarchical development, its medieval theology and religious instruction, the process of conversion and popular religious movements, the religious beliefs and practices among monks, nuns, and priests as well as commoners and nobles, and the influences of these beliefs on encounters with non-Christians within medieval society and in the world. This course provides essential background for anyone interested in the medieval period and a foundation for the study of religion in later periods. Course readings concentrate on primary sources from the period but also draw on recent scholarship in the field to shape our discussions and inform student research.

HST 460 The Black Death
This class focuses on the epidemic that swept across Europe from 1347-52, affecting all those living, regardless of social status, age, gender, or religion. This course explores the nature of the epidemic-the disease itself, its spread, the fear and speculation it caused, and its societal devastation. We will also investigate both immediate and long-term effects on medieval Europe, in terms of daily life, social interactions, treatment of minorities, and the economy. To understand how the epidemic changed western European society for both individuals and for communities, we will consider medieval psychology, scientific knowledge, spirituality, and aesthetics. Finally, we will set the medieval epidemic in its broader context, by discussing problems in studying historical plagues and by looking at more recent epidemic outbreaks, in order to understand how diseases affect human and animal survival, and how environment can be an agent for changing human history.
