G – History
Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | February 5, 2025-May 7, 2025
Wednesday: 12:45 PM-2:00 PM
This course on the Middle East is designed to provide an understanding of the culture, history, religion and politics of this important region. It is an area that has not been studied in any great depth, in the American educational experiences. Yet today, it is as important as China, Russia and Iran in understanding U.S. foreign policy. During the time together we study Islam, the empires, and the European colonial influences, as well as the impact of World War I.
Check to see if this course has posted a class outline or syllabus (LINK COMING SOON).
This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
