All of my courses aim to teach students how to handle the records of the past in order to understand what they do and do not allow us to say about the world they come from. This might be classed as a fixation–see the chart below, which I made to make sense of all of the chronicle evidence for the First Crusade
The list of courses includes some syllabi. If you want to talk about what I teach, please get in touch: bobrien (at) umw (dot) edu
