Introduction to Byzantine Civilization
HLS 346/HIS 346
The course traces the development of Byzantine civilization from the foundation of Constantinople in A.D. 330 to the city's fall to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Within a chronological framework, it analyzes the growth of a specifically medieval, Greek, Christian culture, which developed from the pagan, Greco-Roman background of late antiquity, and moves through medieval, Slavic, Islamic, and western influences to the Renaissance. It aims to provoke a better definition and understanding of Byzantine civilization.

Greeks, Turks, and Slavs: Nationalism in the Balkans
HLS 358/HIS 358
This course will examine the rise of nationalism in the Balkans, beginning with an examination of Balkan society under the Ottoman Empire. We will move on to study selected Balkan nationalist movements in the 19th and 20th centuries. Throughout the course, students will consider the relationship between the Balkan past and the current problems confronting the region. General theories of nationalism will also be studied for their relevance to the history of the Balkans.
