In Medieval and Renaissance Studies classes at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, students and faculty together encounter the past as “another country” in order to understand the conditions that have shaped today’s increasingly interconnected world. MRST majors and minors graduate with a multifaceted understanding of the medieval and Renaissance worlds and with skills essential for the job market, including sensitivity to cultural, linguistic, and historical difference and experience making contemporary sense of the texts and contexts of past times.
The curriculum covers topics associated with these early periods and methodological approaches to them from the humanities, social sciences, languages, and arts.
The Medieval and Renaissance Studies program from University of Tennessee Knoxville emphasizes the study of distinct and temporally remote cultures, including their material conditions, social and political institutions, values and ideals, and modes of perception and expression.
It encourages students to encounter the past as “another country” and thus to understand in new ways the historical conditions that have shaped our increasingly interconnected contemporary world.
