Humanities and Fine Arts 102 - Traversing Differences: Global

This course focuses on reading transformative texts drawn from a global context. You will read fiction and poetry alongside works of philosophy, history, politics, and sociology that describe, model, and examine the complexities of human experience. This course is designed to "transcend" individual majors, bringing students from across campus into shared conversation, helping you develop and practice skills for success in college, career, and life. Engaging deeply and imaginatively with multiple perspectives, past and present, you and your peers will reflect on how to navigate the world as ethical human beings. By exploring these potentially life-changing works, you will develop new understandings of how they inspire new and liberating approaches to expression, selfhood, and community.

Open to first-year students. 20 seats reserved for freshmen/sophomores, 5 seats open for juniors/seniors
