Studying and Teaching the Mediterranean is dedicated to things Mediterranean during the better part of the region’s history, the pre-modern period: roughly from the beginning of recorded history in Antiquity to the advent of modernity in the age of Enlightenment.
The goal of the site is primarily didactic. It aims to be a one-stop shop for college and university teachers providing them with content, insights, and tools, ready-made or adaptable for developing and infusing Mediterranean content in surveys or topical courses in Western or World history, geography, culture, religion, and literature, as well as in specialized surveys or advanced courses with specifically Mediterranean subject matters. The kernel of this site are the contributions of the participants in a NEH Summer Institute in Mediterranean Studies.
