SMC One: The Boyle Seminar in Scripts and Stories

This seminar introduces students to university-level studies through an interdisciplinary exploration of Celtic influences in the medieval world, with a particular focus on early books and historical artefacts as physical objects and bearers of meaning. Students will learn how to read and analyse these books and artefacts. Subjects discussed will include intercultural encounter and dialogue, research methods with historical sources, and the relationship between the written word and lived experience, then and now. A co-curricular, optional travel opportunity to Ireland may be associated with this course. If the trip is offered and you choose to go, an ancillary fee is required to help cover a portion of the travel costs. Not eligible for CR/NCR option. https://stmikes.utoronto.ca/program/smc-one-boyle-seminar
