This course examines the epic struggle for control of Jerusalem from the perspective of both Christians and Muslims, reconstructing the experiences and attitudes of those on either side of the conflict. Students consider what drove Muslims and Christians alike to embrace the ideals of jihad and crusade, to assess how these holy wars reshaped the medieval world, and to reflect on why they continue to echo in human memory to this day.

Course Description
How do people use their voices, and what does this reveal or conceal about their gendered identities? How do gendered voices intersect with other aspects of identity, such as region, class, nation and race? Drawing on theoretical material from a range of disciplinary fields, including cultural philosophy, sociolinguistics, film studies, and psychology, this course will consider the voicing of gender in a variety of different physical spaces and discursive spheres - from the playground to Parliament - and through a range of media, including theater, internet, TV, film and music.

CULTURES OF SLEEP
UCEAP Quarter Units
6.00
UCEAP Semester Units

Course Description
This course takes as its starting point the idea sleep isn't a "dead time" or an obvious biological fact, but is rich with meanings that change from culture to culture. The course takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding these historical and contemporary cultures of sleeping. In particular it focuses on the intersection between medicine and performance in constructing our ideas about how and why we sleep. Students trace the history of slumber by focusing on the intimate and sometimes unexpected relationships between sleep medicine, literature, and theater. Alongside exploring primary and archival materials from sleeping's past, students investigate themes and issues arising from the interdisciplinary study of the history of medicine (an approach sometimes referred to as the medical humanities).
