Institution:

Drew University

Subject:

Description:

The courses in the Western Humanities sequence offer rich possibilities for study. While the time frame for each course (Classical period, Middle Ages, Renaissance to Enlightenment, Modernity) is a constant, the emphasis on specific themes and materials will be determined by the faculty who currently teach the course. Please check the course announcements each semester. Offered spring semester in odd-numbered years. Each of these courses places two or more humanities disciplines in cross-cultural perspective. By examining humanities fields in a comparative, global manner, each team-taught course seeks further understanding of elements of Western, especially North American, cultural practices within the context of world culrtural practices. Literature, music, religion, history, anthropology, art, and other fields provide the material and the issues for this comparative study of the humanities. Taught by faculty from two different humanities disciplines.
