講義概要 /Course description |
This course functions as an introductory study of the rich and organic processes by which we think about the world around us. By becoming more aware of the thinking process itself, students will work towards developing a set of analytical and interpretive skills that will provide a foundation for later coursework and for life beyond university. To this end, students will spend their time both in and out of class engaging a wide variety of texts that complicate and challenge their views of culture, society, history and science. Close readings will be facilitated and encouraged through weekly writing assignments and nuanced discussion. |
