Section Info: Women and Cloth-Making: Textiles, Gender, and Labor in the Ancient Mediterranean. Are textiles “women’s work”? This course introduces the fiber arts of the ancient Mediterranean (spinning, weaving, dyeing, etc.), the multiple methods of studying them, and the vital role of textiles in ancient economies and visual cultures. In addition to traditional classroom experiences, an important part of the course will be a semester-long experience of spinning wool with traditional hand spindles

Section Info: Pompeii: Under the Ashes of Vesuvius Pompeii, a Roman town famously destroyed but uniquely preserved by the Vesuvian eruption of 79CE, has traditionally been viewed as a quintessential example of the ancient Roman urban experience. But how ‘Roman’ was Pompeii? In this class, we will examine how evidence from that buried city contributes to our understanding of Roman material culture and the everyday use of urban space; and how this, in turn, can help us interrogate what it meant to be ‘Roman’ in the ancient Mediterranean world.

Section Info: The Ancient World in Video Games How do you render the ancient world within video games? How do you play antiquity? This course explores the interrelated issues faced by game designers, historians, and archaeologists when attempting to recreate antiquity. From realizing myths and monsters to raising armies and battlefields to redefining the rise of urbanism and early states, historical and archaeological questions have influenced the design of games set in ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. We will survey a broad range of video games across time and genres with an eye towards their translation of ancient histories, literature, and material culture within their audio, visual, and mechanical designs. In doing so, we will get a better grasp at how historical and archeological issues affect game design and popular perceptions of antiquity; we will then design and workshop game concepts or virtual exhibits that take advantage of the unique position of video games and virtual reality as media with which to immerse audiences in the complex histories of antiquity.
