Scottish Kings and Saints - SFU course, Vancouver, May-June 2011

News about a course at SFU in Vancouver on Scottish Kings and Saints.

The Centre for Scottish Studies is offering a four-week non-credit extramural course at the Harbour Centre campus on the early history of Scotland, taught by Dr. Antone Minard. The course will cover notable individuals who shaped the culture of Scotland, including the early kings such as Kenneth MacAlpin, Malcolm III, and Macbeth, and important early Scottish saints: Ninian, Columba (Colum Cille), Kentigern, Mael Rubai, and others.

The focus on this course will be on the connections, tensions, and intersections between royal, ecclesiastical, and spiritual power in early Scotland. This course is designed to complement the Medieval Scottish History course being offered through SFU’s Continuing Education program planned for Fall, 2011.

The course will meet Wednesdays, 7:00 - 9:00 pm. for four weeks (May 11, 18, 25 and June 1) at SFU Harbour Centre (515 West. Hastings) in the Graduate Liberal Studies library (Room 2400).
