What can we learn from Game of Thrones? Find out in this exciting university class
University of British Columbia professor Robert Rouse explains his Game of Thrones course and why the TV show is relevant today even though it's set in a fantastical medieval time.
Game of Thrones returns for its seventh season this Sunday on HBO. The show has developed quite the cult following over the years, and it's even inspired university classes.
Robert Rouse is a professor at the University of British Columbia and he teaches a course called "Our Modern Medieval: The Song of Ice and Fire as contemporary Medievalism."
Rouse argues the show is a huge success because it's really about our lives today. Today, Rouse gives us the reasons why he thinks that.
