This course provides an introduction to the humanities through a global lens by thematically exploring relationships, interactions, and connections between human expressions and human cultures throughout time and geographies, with a particular emphasis on non-western cultures. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the class engages in an analysis of what it means to be human, and the projects humans enact when representing our stories and values by drawing on a myriad of analytical and creative texts, such as in visual art, sculpture, performance, music, dance, philosophy, religion, mythology, film, theater, literature, poetry, fashion, architecture, histories, anthropology, law, religion, popular culture, digital texts, and more. Topics include: humanhood, origin stories, death, immortality, ethics, love, justice, identity, power, and community-building.
