SCA-related UW courses for spring, 2003

Since no one last quarter told me that they hated this idea, the list of SCA-applicable courses here at the UW next quarter is back! Once again, I've attempted to dig through every section in the catalog, posting whatever I thought *might* be useful to someone, so some of it may well not be right, just as a warning. If you find a class on the list that is out of period or otherwise not appropriate to the society, please let me know so I won't make the mistake again. And if you hate these emails, likewise let me know, also; I just thought it would be handy for people to see what we've got here.

I personally recommend The Vikings (come take it with Corinna and I!) and Medieval England (I'm currently taking the same professor's class on Women in Medieval History, and it's both challenging and fascinating.)
