Language of instruction:	English
Type of course:	GE-Elective
Course Level:	Bachelor’s Degree (First Cycle)
Mode of Delivery:
Course Coordinator :	Dr. BURCU ALARSLAN ULUDAŞ
Course Lecturer(s):	Instructor FATMA SELVA SUMAN
Recommended Optional Program Components:	None
Course Objectives:	This course gives an introductory background for the study of the history, archaeology, and cultural achievements of successive civilizations in Anatolia from its earliest beginnings to the Ottoman era.Anatolia (Turkey) has acted as the bridge linking Asia and Europe. The goal of this course is to highlight Anatolia’s unique geographical positioning and to demonstrate how it has been home to countless civilizations, witnessing the mass migration of diverse peoples shaping the course of history. Studying the material, we will see how Anatolia has developed a unique blend of cultures - each with its own distinct identity, each linked to its predecessors through history. To ease the process of learning in class, each week, we will focus on one historical figure and two sites or artifacts. Special emphasis will be placed on monumental artwork and artifacts of the Ancient Anatolia as the product of cultural and historical factors. We will examine how and why the sites and monuments in Anatolia decisively shaped Western European, Greek Orthodox, and Islamic civilizations.
