3 ch (3C) (W) · Undergraduate

Examine the social and cultural roles of men and women in Europe's early-modern period (c. 1450-1800). Learn how this time of political turmoil, religious conflict, and military violence caused people to ask new questions and develop new social norms. Consider how gender influenced topics such as sexual lives and practices, medicalized bodies, labour and work, criminality and the law, faith and religion, and family dynamics.
