SPA 254 - Race, Religion, and Ethnicity in Early Modern Spain3 Credits
Offered periodically or as needed
This course explores the contours of an ongoing debate among today’s scholars of the early modern period: did the notion of race as we understand it today exist a millennium ago? If so, how do we talk about it? If it didn’t, how, then, were people socially categorized? We probe the tensions that arose among social groups, which ultimately led to institutions including the Inquisition, blood purity, forced conversions, exiles, and death.
Core Curriculum Attribute(s): Diversity, Power, and Resistance , Global Perspectives , Language, Arts, and Humanities
Note: begins Spring 2025. Course is taught in English.
