HIST 3501 - Special Topics in American History: Gender and Witchcraft in the Atlantic World

Hours: 4
In 1692, the town of Salem, Massachusetts became the site of the last in a long line of witchcraft scares and trials that swept across the Atlantic world in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This course examines why women and understandings of gender were repeatedly at the heart of these conflicts. It also explores the consequences of this connection between gender and witchcraft.
