HON 2000: Honors Core: Culture and Social Systems (2021-2022)

View all HON classes

This seminar introduces University Scholars to the guiding liberal arts question of the SPU Honors curriculum: “what does it mean to be human?," using the interdisciplinary lenses of culture and social systems. It fosters critical thinking and integrative learning by examining how knowledge is constructed through a specific focus on cultural encounters in the past and present. The course models the honors program's pedagogy of faithful academic scholarship through its commitment to intellectual hospitality, inclusion and embrace, and “loving our neighbors as ourselves.” Interested non-Honors students can contact the Honors Director for registration on a space-available basis. Typically offered: Autumn.
