Learning Outcomes
| The principal objective of this course is to provide students with specialist knowledge and understanding of a key topic in early medieval studies, the changing relations between the Eastern and Western parts of the Mediterranean world. Particular aims are to subject received assumptions and scholarly models to critical scrutiny and to maximize student handling of primary sources (read in translation) and material and archaeological evidence. Students will emerge from the course having developed a sufficient degree of expertise in the field to undertake a Master's dissertation.
