HIS 264 - Middle East History and Politics

3 Credits


Part of a Center for Ecological Living and Learning (CELL) semester abroad program, this course allows students to study the historical and political context of the complex struggle between Israelis and Palestinians, with particular attention to the sequences of action and time, the study of events, and the role of political power. As students develop an understanding of the origins and causes of the Israelis-Palestinian conflict, on-site visits to historic sites and guest speakers help them to make links to the present.
