Prof. Jennifer Ballengee is pleased to announce the Humanities Program's first core-credit study abroad course, HUMA 602 Literature of Empire, to be offered this summer. Another study abroad opportunity, Prof. Allaire Stallsmith's HIST 594: Crete: Crossroads of Mediterranean Civilization, is open to graduate students as an elective during Spring Break 2012. In HUMA 602, participants will examine how ancient Greek myth - as it appears in literature, art, and architecture - has combined with symbolic space to communicate cultural ideologies over the course of history. The program features visits to Athens, Tolo, Corinth, Olympia, Paros, Delphi, and Delos. Highlights include visits to the Acropolis, the National Archaeological Museum, the Palace of Mycenae, Epidaurus and more. Please visit the course's Study Abroad web page if you would like to participate.
In HIST 594, students will study the history of Crete, tracing Cretan history from the Neolithic period to the late 19th century when revolutionary movements led to union with the Greek mainland. Students will spend time in Athens, Heraklion, Chania, and Aghios Nikolaos with visits to the Acropolis, the National Archaeolgical Museum, the Palace of Knossos, local monasteries, the Commonwealth War Cemtery in Souda, Psychro Cave, and more. Visit the Study Abroad web page for the course for more information.
