Examination of the peoples and societies of the ancient Mediterranean world, especially through the disciplines of social and political sciences. The courses will focus on groups, identities, movements, classes and other social and political designations, and are likely to incorporate many different examples of ancient evidence to capture a broad array of voices from the ancient world. Materials used are English translations, and cover a range of authors, genres, and periods, including marginalized voices and texts outside of the traditional classical curriculum. Course may be repeated as subject matter changes. AMS-prefixed courses use English-translated course materials. Pre- or corequisite: HUM 124. Fall and Spring.
