Description: |
If there is one thing we, as humans, can count on, it’s that things change. Whether on a cellular, environmental, political, ideological, or physical level, change is a constant in our lives and in our world. This new Humanities for Life course will incorporate multiple disciplines to provide greater scope and perspective on change and observe how artists from dance, music, and fine arts have creatively explored the subject. Psychology, Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, and Sustainability scholars will contribute to the course’s rich discussion and investigation. “What is my relationship with change in my life?” is one of the course’s primary questions. As a final project students will use writing, movement, music, and/or spoken word to express their own experiences with change. Classes will regularly explore embodied practices, creative and reflective writing, and expansive discussion to dive into this important inquiry. |
