Description

Pre-requisites: HUM 3302; HIS 2302
The purpose of this course is to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of Moroccan cultural heritage from both tangible and intangible perspectives. Through the positive intermingling of Berber, Arab, Islamic, Jewish, Roman, Andalusian, French, Saharan and Sub-Saharan cultures, Morocco has been a place for innovation in the arts of living and building. The course will place an emphasis on Moroccan heritage as it continues to thrive in cities, towns and villages throughout the country. It aims at providing an understanding of how the traditions of Moroccan life can serve as a catalyst for developments in contemporary Morocco.This four (4) SCH course involves a number of local and cross-country field trips.
