Faculty First Year Seminars 191CL1 - Art, Culture, & Literature @UM

Art, Culture, and Literature @ UMass looks at the lively and vibrant arts and culture of UMass, including museums and galleries, rare books and manuscripts, one of America?s foremost literary magazines, innovative and historic architecture, a major international film archive, and other cultural resources on campus. The seminar will offer a history of the arts, writing, and design at UMass, and will include on-campus field trips to all the places and resources we learn about. The course will also include introductions to the people behind these cultural centers, including museum curators, librarians, designers, artists, and archivists. The course will include guest lectures by local cultural creators and administrators to give students information about UMass?s role in the cultural life of our area and beyond.
