Transfers ToNot transferableDescriptionThis course is designed for Older Adults to examine the changes in Western life and thought that resulted from the rediscovery of the classical ages of Greece and Rome, known as the “Renaissance.” It features many of the places, figures, and events that define the era, including Florence, the Medici, the growth of trade, the Hundred Years War, Humanism, new music, philosophy, Machiavelli, Chaucer, and visual culture including Donatello and Leonardo da Vinci. These will be studied 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.
