PS 402 - Junior Symposium

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

Has your education changed who you are? Has it changed, perhaps even radically, your perceptions and values? The purpose of this course is to witness this transformation in action. Specifically, three professors from three different disciplines will guide and facilitate discussion on current events of importance and of concern to students. As representatives of three different disciplines, the professors will discuss and debate issues utilizing their own disciplinary training as well as their own life experiences. Students will frequently hear the professors disagree, and moreover recognize that each professors understanding and evaluation of a current event has been shaped by the professor’s own education. Moreover, when students enter the discussion they will also be utilizing their own educational training, which has fostered their own unique set of perceptions. Put simply, the Current Event Symposium is a forum for students to apply what they have learned to aspects of their life that do not necessarily have anything to do with their career. Consequently, students who complete the Symposium will be more reflective and better informed citizens ready to impact the world around them.
