HISTORY 3231: Creating Medieval Monsters: Constructions of the "Other"
This course examines the development of a persecuting society in medieval Europe and explores the various ways that minorities were demonized (literally turned into "monsters") in the medieval discourse and artwork in order to create a strong sense of unity within Christendom, with a specific focus on Jews, lepers, Muslims, religious non-conformists, sexual nonconformists, and women.
