History 88-5 Spring 2007 Heresy and the Other in Medieval and Early Modern Spain
Thursday, 2:00-4:50, Math and Sciences Building 3915D TA: Office Hours: Mailbox: Email: Aaron Moreno 2155 Bunche Hall, Tuesdays 2-4 and by appointment 6th Floor Bunche Hall, Room 6275 aamoreno@ucla.edu
This seminar will focus on the issues that arose from Spains unique history of heresy and conversion. As will quickly become obvious, much of our attention will necessarily be devoted to the interactions of Christians, Jews and Muslims in Spain, as well. In a seminar that covers heresy, conversion and ethno-religious interaction, there should be something for everyone. For each seminar meeting, you will come prepared to discuss the articles and texts from the Required Reading. I require that you bring to the seminar at least five discussion questions or issues related to the texts. We will be looking mostly at primary sources, which are on the whole really fun. There will also be secondary readings to give us some more context. Each week there will also be two or three five-to-ten-minute student presentations on articles or books selected from the Potential Readings for Presentations. This will allow the presenters to hone their oral skills and will save you from having an impossibly long required reading list. You only have to present one presentation during the quarter, and you can pick whichever text or article you wish to present during whichever week looks the most interesting to you. There will be a Q and A session. We also will have a few short writing exercises to prepare you for your twelve-to-fifteen page term paper. Some of these exercises will involve-to-peer critiques of portions of your term paper drafts. On our final meeting (June 8), you will present the main ideas and arguments of your term

paper to the seminar. There will be a Q and A session and a voluntary potluck (its much more fun to listen to presentations while eating cookies). Your completed term paper is due June 13. As for the specific requirements of the class: Participation (35%): So, so very important. This includes coming to class on time. You will have a five-minute grace period, after which time you will be considered late.

Unexcused absences will kill your grade since we only meet ten times. Excused absences are for extreme cases only and usually require a doctors note. Weekly Written Submissions (10%): Each week, you must submit at least five (typed) insightful observations or questions that further discussion. That way, you will always have insightful things to say. For Week III, you will also write a one- to two-page essay about any topic related to the weeks readings, and bring it to class for peer-to-peer critique sessions. For Week IV, you will also submit to me a revised version of the same one- two-page essay, along with peer critique comments on the first draft. Presentations (10%): Your presentation on a work selected from Potential Readings for Presentations will count for 10% of your grade. You will be graded on how well you convey the main ideas and issues, and the ability to answer any questions will be important, too.
