This 4-week interactive class is an in-depth introduction to Medieval history. The middle ages, sandwiched between the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, is full of surprises, amusing facts, and shockingly, not as dark as we often think! We'll meet once a week for a fun and interactive lesson with images, videos, games, and lectures. We'll find answers to questions like: What was the role of the church in Medieval Europe? How did rats change the course of history? What was "La Reconquista"?...
By the end of this course students will be able to: -Explain how the geography of Europe shaped the development of cultures. -Describe the role of the church in medieval Europe. -Determine the role that architecture, education, literature, and religion played in the Middle Ages. -Understand what feudalism was and why it became an important social structure. -Identify the causes and effects of the Crusades and the Reconquista. -Understand the consequences of the Bubonic plague on European and world history. -Analyze gender roles during the Middle Ages.
I have a master's degree in Political Science, and postgraduate studies in economics, Human Development, and Gender, as well as a B.A. in Legal Studies. I was an elementary school teacher for five years, teaching world history and literature as my main subjects. For over a decade, I was a consultant and researcher for various feminist NGOs, the United Nations, and the World Bank.

I encourage students to ask questions and to have open-minded, and kind discussions during class. If any sensitive questions come up regarding topics such as warfare, intentionally cruel acts committed by humans, gender roles in history, etc. my responses will always be evidence-based, age-appropriate, and relevant to the class topic. If I need time to get more information, I will defer answers for specific questions to the next class.
