Course Description
This course is team-taught by lecturers in the School of Art History & Cultural Policy. Dublin is home to a rich variety of museums; its collections survey the entire history of Irish art but also include outstanding examples of European and non-Western art. The city and its environs is itself renowned for its architecture and sculpture. Over the course of two lectures per week, this course fosters an enhanced appreciation of, and a direct engagement with, local art works and monuments among students who are not majoring in art history. Although short readings are assigned, the principal demand made upon students outside of class hours is to visit local sites/collections relevant to material discussed in class. This course is introductory in nature, and aimed at students with no previous experience of art history.

Course Description
This course focuses on the physical and social development of the city of Dublin. While some time is taken at the beginning of the course to examine the early development of the city, the main emphasis is on the period from about 1680 to 1950. The course looks at the city from a variety of perspectives not necessarily following a chronological pathway. There is an emphasis on understanding how the forces and processes of the time were made manifest in the streets and urban landscape of the city. It is important to understand Dublin in its European context and to see it as the unique expression of common processes. A background in urban geography is useful for this course. Previous coursework in European urbanization is particularly helpful.

Course Description
Magic had a central place, alongside religion, in everyday ancient Greek and Roman lives. What beliefs did people in antiquity have about magic and how it worked? To answer these questions, the course explores the descriptions of ancient witches, sorcerers, shamans, necromancers, oracles, ghosts, spells, and love potions, and evidence of curses, voodoo dolls, and amulets from the ancient magic in more modern times (e.g. witch hunts, astrology, and Harry Potter). The relationships between magic and ancient religion, Christianity, medicine, the law, philosophers, and the everyday lives of people from all levels of ancient society are key to this inquiry. Students use the sources to consider what the Greeks and Romans thought magic was, how they thought it worked, and why they used it.
