3.00 Credits
More than 70 percent of American adults now study at college for some time. But almost none study college as a formative individual experience and critical public institution while there. This course aims to fill this gap, encouraging students to reflect on the ground under their feet, the contemporary American university, and the myths, debates, and histories that shape it. What is the purpose of higher education: to protect and defend islands of humanistic contemplation and disinterested scientific inquiry; to equip young citizens for informed democratic action; to train meritocratic elites for high office and high salaries? And how has this purpose shifted with the growth of leading American universities from clerical enclaves to worldly research corporations? This course addresses such questions with help from three bodies of texts: canonical modern fictions of campus life by such authors as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Willa Cather, Mary McCarthy and Ralph Ellison, Philip Roth and Don DeLillo; some influential theories of the university and its intellectuals from Thomas Jefferson to Michel Foucault; and a trio of iconic college films: the Marx Brothers' Horsefeathers, National Lampoon's Animal House, and Spike Lee's School Daze. Same as Drama 473
