In this course, students will explore the many aspects of the history and culture of Spain affected by its contact and relationship with Christian, Islamic, and Judaic civilizations throughout the Medieval and Early Modern period in the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb (for example, art and architecture, language and literature, religion and law, music and dance, food and customs). Students will thus have many opportunities to gain insight and better understand the historical and ideological contexts relevant to contact between cultures and civilizations in the modern world.

The pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain has existed for around 1200 years. Through the ages and down to the present day, the pilgrimage to Santiago has drawn thousands upon thousands of pilgrims to follow this well-trodden path, for myriad reasons and with diverse effects. By participating in this course, you will, quite literally, walk in their footsteps.  This is a physically and mentally demanding course. You can expect to walk between 12-18 miles daily. But the work will be immensely rewarding, as you make discoveries about yourself, commune with those around you, and wonder at the history and beauty of the lands you traverse. As you walk and wander through ruins and remnants of the past, you will marvel at the timeless and powerful ties that language and culture have to ideological, political, and economic domains. By being a part of this course, you will become a pilgrim; a pilgrim in a new age, of course, but a pilgrim nonetheless. As a pilgrim, you will discover something about living and being "in-the-moment," while having the opportunity to reflect on the footprints left by those that have walked and lived along the Way to Santiago before you.
