The Middle Ages is typically classified as a period limited to Europe and the Mediterranean between the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century and the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century. In the last several decades, scholars have begun to push the boundaries of medieval history to include sub-Saharan Africa, the Americas, Asia, and the broader Pacific world between late antiquity and the emergence of the Spanish, French, and English empires in the early modern period. To consider how the medieval world was truly “global” in terms of trade, cultural diffusion, race/race making, migration, religion, and material and artistic exchange, this course will explore the history of the world during the Middle Ages through the reading of primary and secondary sources from across geographies. Students will examine how medieval people interacted with different cultures, traded with one another across long distances, and lived in a global world, much like our own.
