afford you a panoply of topics to choose from! Some that have worked in my classes: <span style="font-size: 12pt;">comparison of Christian and Muslim accounts of the events of 711, reading the Cid across historical sources (including Arabic), the Jewish community
under Muslims and Christians, spaces of intellectual/commercial/social encounter between Muslims and Christians....</span></p>

<div dir="ltr">Dear All,
<div>I'm developing a list of suggested final research paper topics for undergraduate seniors studying medieval Spain (Islamic and Christian). The catch is that they only read English and can therefore only read sources in English translation. Does anyone have
ideas on good topics for their research papers which still involve primary source analysis but with no non-English language sources?</div>
<div>Best,</div>
