Around 1000 CE, minorities like Jews, heretics, and Muslims, the physically and mentally ill, and gay men began experiencing increased persecution in medieval Europe. This pedagogy‐focused article on a thematic medieval history course surveys major works on persecution, sexual identity, gender identity, religious violence, and deviance. A brief discussion on implementing the course at two colleges will reveal how instructors can adapt a course on persecution and medieval interfaith relations to diverse learners and institutional climates.
