FYS 1168 - Sex, Saints, and Heritics

Credits: 4.0
First Year Seminar in History: Shortly after founding what was supposed to be a model religious society in New England, Puritan leaders faced one of their sharpest challenges in the form of an internal religious revolt. That the dissidents were led by a woman made the threat even more intolerable. This controversy will serve as a lens into colonial religion, culture, notions of gender, and Indian relations. Includes research, writing, and debate based on colonial documents and role-playing via a “reacting to the past” game.
