HON 251 - Encountering the Other

Institution:

Mercer University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisites: HON 101 and 102. We often define ourselves against the "other" in our lives. The definition can include ourencounter with the "Other" found in the spirit-world or the "other" found in the lives of peopwho look, think, or act differently from us. The purpose of this Honors seminar is to engage in a four-week discussion about the other in our home context (Macon, GA or the southeastern U.S.) and then in a study abroad context. We will embark on this journey by reading novels, essays, poems, visiting Cathedrals and immigrant communities, and walking through museums and art galleries. Through the activities and assignments during the four weeks, we will participate in a conversation about what it means to be human. Other study-abroad courses satisfy the same Honors Program requirement as this course. (Summer sessions only)
