About this course
This course introduces students to the idea that historical narratives both reveal and conceal, and proposes the idea of history as an ongoing process of discovery. It is an interdisciplinary discussion that identifies, examines, analyzes, and critiques fundamental Western concepts from aesthetics, history, philosophy, religion, and science as representative of a perspective from an historical or cross-cultural context. Emphasis will be placed on how the past, present, and future have the potential to inform one another and are continually framed and reframed by perspective. As participants in an honors course, students will be expected to complete extra assignments, or an additional longer assignment, to gain deeper insight into critical theory and the humanities. This is an honors course.
