Fall. Next Offered: 2019-2020. 3 credits. Student option grading.

No specific prior knowledge needed.

N. Giannella.

This course introduces students to the different forms, embodiments, and definitions of slavery across time and the globe. We will explore canonical questions such as what constitutes a slave society and whether a universal definition is a constructive paradigm, to specific questions about how to understand the role of law, gender and sexuality, science, and race in a particular society. We will focus on, but not limit our study to, slavery in Athens, Rome, and in the New World.
