Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
A course in which students can undertake specific laboratory, library or field based research supervised by a faculty member. Variable units: 3, 4, 5 or 6.
COURSE DETAILS:
This course will introduce you to life in Byzantium (395-1453 CE), the post-Roman Christian empire which emerged in the Near East and Mediterranean, through a thematic survey of their art, architecture, and archaeology. Emphasis is placed on identifying and analysing material remains to access the period’s social history and contextualizing Byzantium’s relationship within the wider Medieval world. This is achieved through a series of art historical and archaeological case studies which explore the cultural traditions and experiences of those living within the empire. Special interest will also given to the history and development of Byzantine Archaeology, as we question the theoretical, methodological, and socio-political frameworks that have shaped the discipline.

Department Undergraduate Notes:

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
