Humanities and Fine Arts 102 - Traversing Differences: Global

This course focuses on issues of equity, diversity, and social and environmental justice in the global and international arena. The course will develop students' cultural, and information literacy alongside the skills of close reading, textual analysis, oral and written communication, and critical thinking. Reading texts from literature, history, philosophy and the social sciences, the course examines the tools of literary, philosophical, and political analysis with which we routinely address practices of discrimination and related issues of unequal power relations and asks to what extent they can be freed from the hegemonic pressures and forms of violence they are confronting.

Open to first-year students.
