6: Making Waves in the Medieval Mediterranean Sea with Dr. Thomas Burman

This month we sit down with Dr. Thomas Burman, director of Medieval Institute at the University of Notre Dame. We chat with him about how modern research on Mediterranean cultures is reshaping our understanding of the medieval world, exactly how far the Mediterranean world reaches, and what goes into creating textbooks for the next generation of students.Link to Dr. Burman's new textbook, The Sea in the Middle: The Mediterranean World, 650-1650https://www.amazon.com/Sea-Middle-Mediterranean-World-650-1650/dp/0520296524/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2TFGTK5SHF52C&keywords=sea+in+the+middle&qid=1680724997&sprefix=sea+in+the+middle%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-1
