MESA 2125 - Gateway to the Middle East & South Asia


Effective Date 08/01/2023
From the ancient history of games like chess and backgammon, to sports like badminton and falconry, to the “Great Game” of imperial conquests, this course offers a theme-based gateway to the long-connected regions of the Middle East and South Asia. Over the semester, we’ll explore this region of the world through short stories, films, tv shows, games themselves, and cameo visits by other faculty–all on the topic of “playing games”!
