  • HI 400: Senior Refl ective Tutorial:Going Global:Autobiography and History

    1.00 Credits
    Wagner College

    One unit. Explores the dynamic fashion in which cultural and intellectual identities-including our own identities-are shaped within specifi c socio-political contexts by looking critically at autobiographies. The use and abuse of personal narratives reveals disjunctions and connections between truth and memory, past and present, academic and experiential learning. Touching, shocking, infuriating but essential sources, autobiographies remind us of the possibilities and dangers inherent in looking at the world from a single perspective. In our global age, it is both challenging and imperative to try to understand national, civic, religious, ethnic and gendered identities. You will also have the opportunity to explore and craft your own cultural and intellectual autobiography as a 21st century citizen and imagine your own past, present and future. As part of the senior learning community, the RFT will offer a broader theoretical context and support for the senior research thesis. It will also provide opportunities for applied learning-on the job market, in public debate and in personal decision-making.
