Description:

Since the 16th century, study of the middle ages implies studying a ‘middle’, or intermediary period, seen as standing between two great civilizations: Roman antiquity and the modern western world. This definition has had a major impact on scholarship, crystallizing a periodization that has now become traditional in most of the humanities. The Department of Classical and Religious Studies, located in the Faculty of Arts participates in the collaborative program in Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the master's level. The program has two goals: To offer at the graduate level a multi-disciplinary education in Medieval and Renaissance Studies; To teach students the theoretical approaches and methods of research specific to the study of the period.
