Course on The Medieval City
Speaking of urban studies, here's a delectable course at St. Olaf: The Medieval City: History and Historiography.
In this course, we will explore both the history and historiography of the medieval urban environment, focusing on the period after 1100. We will begin with two general surveys of medieval European cities, then read a series of articles and books on specific topics, accompanied by selected primary sources. The last third of the class will offer you time to work on a major research project and prepare a twenty minute presentation on your work.
