Course description
Have you ever been curious about the cultures that underlie your passions? In this class, we will study the world around you and the cultures that make up our play, work, relationships, and sense of self. Whatever your passions are - stories, natural environment, activism, food, film, or history - you can find a place for it in Culture & Community. The course will begin with an exploration of pressing topics, then transition into researching contemporary issues and problems-largely be determined by student interest. Our course will culminate with individual multi-modal research projects where you put your cultural literacy and research skills to the test.

Section information
Forbes magazine recently declared creativity “the skill of the future.” But what exactly is creativity? Where does inspiration come from? Who can be creative and what does it look like across cultures and disciplines? In this class, we will explore these questions and how creativity is valued and manifested in human culture. We will use texts from a variety of genres, active discussion, and a self-directed research project to examine creativity’s influence on human culture and behavior, and practice critical and creative thinking. Students from ALL majors and disciplines who want to bring more creative energy to any part of their life are encouraged to register.
