HIST172 CM - Nature and Environment in the Ancient World

This course offers an opportunity to explore the written and material evidence for ways that people in the ancient Mediterranean and medieval Europe interacted with the environment and thought about “nature.” This course will allow students to come to a better understanding of how ancient and medieval societies interacted with the natural environment, both in concrete terms of the impact of the natural environment on pre-modern societies, but also in terms of how societies fashioned distinctive means for conceptualizing and understanding “nature” (religious, philosophical, economic, literary) as a force in their lives.
