MDVL 2000: Medieval Encounters: Voices from the Past

Discover the fascinating peoples of the Middle Ages by exploring dramatic encounters across the medieval world. Medieval authors tell us about their values: loyalty, love, honor and heroism among others. Their stories reveal their relationships with family, friends and followers, and between peoples of different religions and cultures. 

MDVL 2000: Medieval Encounters: Voices from the Past, is an interdisciplinary course designed to explore interactions of past peoples and let their voices speak to us. The course teaches you how to read, analyze, and respond to voices from the past, discovering what they can tell us about medieval worldviews and our own.

MDVL 2000 meets the student learning outcomes in the WMU Essential Studies Level 2 – Exploration and Discovery – Course Category: Societies and Cultures.
