C) Statement of Need:
Similar to CLAS 2206 Sport and Recreation in Greece and Rome, this course aims to meet the
need for interesting elective courses for students in other disciplines. It will be cycled with Sport
every 2 to 3 years. Students in nursing and sciences would particularly benefit from a course that
provides them with an introduction to the origins and development of western medicine,
sciences, and technology. At the same time the course also illustrates the important relationship
between the historical, cultural and social context of a given society and the need (or lack of it)
for innovation and technological progress and thus should benefit a broad group of students in
the humanities and social sciences as well.
D) Statement of Resources:
This course does not require additional resources; The majority of ancient source material is now
available on line.

O) Statement of Need:
This course will complement another course in the Classical Studies program, CLAS 3066 –
Race, Racism, and Ethnic Identity in Antiquity, which focuses on constructions of racialized
ethnic identities and ethnic conflict in the ancient world, thus reflecting the research interests of
faculty and the concentration of the curriculum in the area of the social and cultural histories of
marginalized groups. While a number of courses at other institutions do include material on
religious conflicts in their courses on religion in the ancient world, none focus on religious
conflict as a specific social phenomenon. The course proposed here will therefore be unique, and
given the prominent place held by religious conflict in contemporary social and political
discourse, the Classical Studies faculty believe that such a course will be popular with students
enrolled in a number of degree programs.
P) Statement of Resources:
No additional resources will be required to offer this course.

Hi Richard,
This course looks interesting and is something our present faculty couldn't develop or offer. We'd
be happy to cross-list it.
