Description
Teaching the Global Middle Ages by Geraldine Heng offers a fresh perspective on this period in history. By exploring cultural interconnection and globalism across civilizations, this collection fosters new ways of thinking about the past. The essays in this volume bring together insights from various disciplines, including music, theater, religion, ecology, museums, and the history of disease, to provide guidance on texts such as The Thousand and One Nights and Benjamin of Tudela's Book of Travels. Syllabus recommendations, digital resources, engaging class activities, and discussion questions are also included. This collection provides tools for students to evaluate popular representations of the Middle Ages and engage with the dynamics of past, present, and future world relationships.
