IDS 1180 - Andalusia (Spain) & Morocco

Credits: 2
This Study Tour will acquaint students with the historical and cultural links between Spain and Morocco. In Spain, we will visit the major cities of what was Al-Andalus or Muslim Spain (711-1492), focusing on the main historical periods (Umayyad Dynasty, taifa kingdoms, Nasrid Dynasty) and the cities that are most representative of these periods (Córdoba, Sevilla, Málaga, and Granada). In Morocco, we will likewise focus on historical periods (Berber, Saadi, Alaouite Dynasties) as we visit Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, Fes, and Marrakech. This will be a twelve-day Study Tour. Each day we will have a tour led by a local guide or the professors. There will also be some free time for students to explore on their own.
