First-Year Seminar: Viking Economics

Catalog description

The people we have come to know as the Vikings were major influencers on the history and economic development of Western and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and North America. In this course, we will come to understand the Vikings not only as warriors, but also in other roles for which they should be known: merchants, social and economic innovators, entrepreneurs and explorers, shipbuilders and seafarers, and creators of a remarkable literature of myths and sagas.
