In our complicated world, what will your future look like? We'll gather texts from philosophy, history, and literature to help us wonder thoughtfully about this question. We'll think collectively about each person's possible futures, and we'll think philosophically about our collective futures in the 21st century. We will also host guest speakers who reflect on what a "career" is, for them, in this world. Visiting speakers will be asked in advance to integrate some history, philosophy, or literature into their reflections, modeling the process for your coursework. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Engl majors.
Open to seniors with English as a primary major only. ENGLISH 200 w/ C or E200 This class is intended for English primary majors.
