基础研究: Literary Studies (LS)

LAT 215

In keeping with the overall learning goals for 基础研究 courses, Latin 215 (Classical Mythology) introduces students to the variety, 复杂性, and richness of Classical Greek and Roman mythology in order to not only place these myths within their original social and historical contexts but also, 同时, consider their continued influence on Western 艺术, 认为, 和文化. 学生们会看到, this influence extends well beyond the obvious realms of literature and other 艺术s to a broad range of academic disciplines from astronomy to zoology. The course assignments will help students achieve these goals. This course is conducted in 英语. 请查看 动态调度 for the upcoming semester offerings.

基础研究: Historical Perspectives (HS)

LAT 311 (Introduction to Roman Culture) introduces students to the complex and influential 文化 of the ancient Roman world from its 7th century BC beginnings as a small hill town on the Italian peninsula through its growth into a vast empire composed of diverse peoples living in Europe, 非洲, 和亚洲. Our study focuses on the experiences of individuals in relation to the complex personal, 经济, 政治, 艺术, and religious systems developed in the Roman world over more than 1000 years. The course requires students not only to study the Romans within their original social and historical contexts but also to reflect upon their continued influence on modern 艺术, 认为, 文化, 和机构. 学生 consider the record left by the Romans themselves in literature, 艺术, 和考古学, alongside  academic and critical interpretations of modern scholars to fulfill the Historical Perspectives learning objectives.
