    Description
    This course is designed for Older Adults to look at the Western world after the collapse of the Roman Empire and then trace the incursion of the Germanic tribes into various territories, wherein a unique culture was produced by the combination of Roman, Christian, and Germanic elements. Contemporaneous developments in the Byzantine Empire will also be investigated. Religion, visual culture, philosophy, and literature will be examined within these diverse contexts in order to draw universal observations that will enable Older Adults to understand constructions of family, community, and historical global issues as they relate to their lives. Portions of instruction may be offered online; may also be offered fully online.
