Throughout their time in Turkey, our students do a range of readings related to sites visited and concepts discussed. Some of these are ancient primary sources, others are theoretical discussions of how nations come into being, and some are academic articles offering unique perspectives on the things are students will see. If you would like to get a sense of what our students are learning about, check out some of their readings:
- The introduction to Edward Said's Orientalism (1978).
- Dio Cassius, Roman History, 75.10-14 (3rd century CE).
- Procopius, "On the Great Church (Hagia Sophia)" (545 CE).
- John of Damascus, "In Defense of Icons" (730 CE).
