This intensive four-week study abroad subject to be taught in southern Germany, involves a study of the imperial city of Nuremberg and its region, within the context of the social and political transformations of the 15th century, the religious changes and conflict of the 16th century Reformation, and the cultural self-consciousness, learning and magnificence associated with the Renaissance. Students will explore key architectural, social, political and ecclesiastical sites of the city and visit its numerous museums. The city will be studied from the viewpoint of its links with imperial institutions, the patronage of powerful families, the impact of Reformation ideas and conflicts, the influence of the print media, and the role of new values and learning associated with humanism. The program includes day excursions to museums and sites in the region.
