Introduction
A liberal arts education arms students with the knowledge and critical thinking skills to explore contemporary art issues. Artistic inspiration is also found in exploring literature, poetry, history and the sciences.
This class will introduce students to key methodologies to fields within the social sciences. The class will pay particular attention to methods integral to a particular field within the social sciences, such as history or sociology. At the same time, the instructor will use modern and contemporary examples to help show how these ideas work in practice. A particular emphasis will also be placed on introducing concepts relevant to the field of visual culture. In this fashion, students will get an introduction not only to a particular field within the social sciences but also to an understanding of the methods used within the social sciences.
This class will present works from world literature, focusing on historic and recent contributions to the literary arts. While the specific works covered will differ from semester to semester, the course may draw upon works from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Students will not only read these texts, but also learn how to interpret the text in question, gaining an understanding not only of its historical and cultural importance, but also of how these works continue to inspire writers, poets, musicians, and artists. Prerequisites: Composition II or the equivalent.
