Barbara E. Logan

About

 

Dr. Logan received her Ph.D. in Latin and Greek studies from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 2002. Her dissertation compared the ethos of suffering in early Christian martyrdoms with the rhetoric of identity formation in Hellenistic philosophies. She studies and teaches the history of texts from Antiquity to the Early Modern era with a focus on women and other "outsider" groups.

A History of Money

At its most basic level, money is simply a unit of measurement and a convenient means of exchange. At its deepest level, money is a measurement of trust and community. In the history of money we can study what and why people desired or valued different things. The story of money is a story of both greed and charity. In the pursuit of money there have been great innovations and great crimes. In this class we will study the history of money as a history of cultures, peoples, and material effects.
