What would the Middle Ages Do? Medieval Perspectives on Modern Problems

Many issues of modern debate - charity, money, gender relations, sex, LGBTQ rights, faith and the supernatural - were thought about extensively in the Middle Ages. In this course, you will be introduced to the medieval world through these issues, as they appear in miracle stories, legal records, chronicles and more. Together, we will explore the culture of the Middle Ages, think about the medieval roots of our views, and reflect on what medieval ideas can teach us about modern controversies.
