Junior Year Curriculum
15 credits
During the junior year, students take three core seminars of five credits each. Each seminar includes extensive reading lists, rigorous writing and research assignments, and the expectation of active participation and engagement.
- T GH 301 Global Interactions (5 credits) I & S
- This course examines the major intellectual and political movements that marked the human experience in the 20th century. It may examine nationalism, fascism, and other political philosophies, as well as governments' relationships to the natural environment and to one another.
- Autumn 2009 with Dr. Rob Crawford Syllabus
- T GH 302 Global Imaginations (5 credits) VLPA
- This course accommodates the study of major themes, concepts, trends or techniques that permeate world literature, visual arts, music, dance, theatre and other forms of creative expression. The specific art forms and issues to be examined in any given offering of the class will vary. In addition to works considered to be "masterpieces" by critics, the class will also consider marginalized forms of aesthetic expression that have generated cross-cultural debate about modern concepts of "art" and their relation to diverse forms of meaning and value.
