Description:

In this course, students learn the ways in which culture shapes their understanding of the world. Culture is engaged theoretically, such as through the study of ethnography and through methods such as exercises in participation-observation. Students explore what it means to engage, define, and describe a culture, and look at the value and limits of inquiry. Students reflect experientially and in writing on the culture of their cohort, the Institute, and academia itself.
