Medieval Studies ClusterThis cluster is made up of courses that, taken together, present to students a broad, interdisciplinary view of medieval Europe, approximately the period from 400 or 1500 AD. The cluster strives to distinguish the medieval cultural system(s) from those that proceeded and those that came after it. Cluster Coordinator: John Ott Sophomore Inquiry: Medieval StudiesThe Medieval Studies Sophomore Inquiry courses introduce students to medieval life, thought, and culture in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin, from roughly 800 to 1450 C.E.
