Study Abroad Programs: Medieval and Renaissance Studies
Medieval and Renaissance Studies involves the interdisciplinary exploration of the historical periods known as the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, spanning roughly from the 5th to the 17th centuries in Europe. This field of study encompasses diverse aspects of the culture, art, literature, philosophy, religion, politics, and social structures of these periods.
Students engaging in Medieval and Renaissance Studies abroad have the opportunity to delve deeply into the rich tapestry of these historical eras by immersing themselves in the physical landscapes, architecture, artworks, and manuscripts that have survived from this time. They may study iconic landmarks such as medieval castles, cathedrals, and Renaissance palaces, and examine artifacts and artworks in museums and cultural institutions.
Additionally, students may explore the intellectual and cultural movements that shaped medieval and Renaissance societies, such as the rise of humanism, the development of scientific inquiry, the flourishing of the arts, and the religious and political transformations of the period. They may analyze primary sources in their original languages, study the works of influential thinkers, artists, and writers, and engage in discussions and research projects that deepen their understanding of these historical epochs.
Studying Medieval and Renaissance Studies abroad offers students a unique opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of these pivotal periods in Western history while immersing themselves in the landscapes, languages, and cultures that continue to bear their legacy. Through interdisciplinary approaches and experiential learning opportunities, students develop critical thinking skills, cultural awareness, and a nuanced understanding of the complexities of the medieval and Renaissance worlds.
