Middle Eastern Studies Course provides an opportunity to explore the Middle East in a unique fashion that combines history, politics, and culture while keeping an eye on the wide variety of individual experiences of those living in the Middle East. Throughout the year, we will look at a variety of written documents and visual media in order to deepen our understanding of the Middle East. The ultimate objective of this course is to build the background knowledge and critical skills necessary for students to engage in more nuanced and informed discussions about the Middle East.
