Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center • 28 S Linn St Iowa CityIA  52240 Organized by Iowa City Senior Center

About this event

Description

Most students of history have only a passing familiarity with a significant period known as the Islamic Golden Age in the Greater Middle East, from about 750 to 1258 CE. But it is nearly impossible to overstate the power and importance of this crucial 500-year history. This course is your opportunity to get to know the story and the accomplishments of this great period in human civilization. Taught by acclaimed lecturer Eamonn Gearon, these 24 lectures offer insights into an era too often overlooked by traditional history textbooks. This is a video lecture series facilitated by Beth Stence.
