This is one of four electable courses for the second period of History II. Here you find information on the other three options (Swedish page):
Electable courses for History II, 2nd period Spring 2025 (Swedish)
Why should I choose this course?
This course will allow students to engage with the changing meaning of the concept of tolerance in the Middle Ages, and offer insights into the religious and political cultures of the Levante, the Iberian Peninsula, as well as the Baltic. It touches on subjects of relevance for today, such as identity, belonging, and exclusion, and interacts with not just the actions of the clergy, nobles, and kings, but also with the agency of non-elite people.
What is its role in the semester overall?
This course will teach you how to engage, discuss and position yourself into up-to-date scholarship and ongoing debates surrounding Medieval political culture. It will particularly train you in entering into a dialogue with current research, which is a necessary skill to anyone that is thinking, writing, and reading, independently about history.
The course is held in English.
Teachers: Gustav Ängeby and Ricardo Fernández González
