Course Advertisement • Some have proposed pilgrimage as the image that best

reflects the identity formation of both individuals and communities.

• In this course we will investigate the accounts of pilgrims, travelers, and traders, using ancient and modern narratives to explore ‘travel’ as a literary genre.

• The networks of cultural, economic and intellectual exchange we encounter will in turn serve as a guide for framing and analyzing the formative elements and events in our own stories of ‘roots’ and ‘routes.’

• Travel to local sites will add an experiential dimension to our intellectual investigations.

• If you are at heart, a pilgrim, a wanderer, curious about your place in the world, do join us on this journey.

Governing Questions• Where did you come from? • Where are you going? • How do the places you’ve been dictate the places you will

go? • How might the places you go re-shape your

understanding of the places you’ve been? • Are there routes that continually beckon? • Are there roots that keep you firmly fixed? • Is it possible to simultaneously explore new terrain and

yet remain grounded? • Is it only in remaining grounded that one is, in fact free to

explore new terrain? • How does one explore without losing one’s bearings? • What is the paradox that connects our ‘roots’ to our

‘routes’?
