We will build our base of knowledge collectively, through discussion, in both large and small groups. Because our discussion will sometimes address complex and potentially sensitive subjects that may be personal to some of us, it’s important to come to the conversation with an open mind, a willingness to listen and consider alternative points of view, and respect for one another, the authors, and the characters represented in the works.\nClass meetings will consist of brief lecture, full-class and small-group discussion, and various other activities (presentations, in-class writings, slide shows, video and audio recordings).\nCatalog Entry:\n“Satisfies the humanities requirement in the general education program.
