ARTSC 0010 - BEING HUMAN IN THE AGE OF COVID-19

Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
This 1-credit course, sponsored by the Humanities Center, offers an opportunity for students to work closely with a team of faculty mentors to engage the COVID-19 crisis from a deeply humanistic perspective. Students will join a community of professors from a range of humanistic fields in a semester of discussions about our current pandemic moment. They will work closely with faculty members who bring research expertise in public health and the African diaspora; speculative fiction and imagining apocalypse; modern US History, the history of science, and the history of activism; the history of art as it has been shaped by plagues and epidemics; and the history of pandemic literature. We will read, talk and think deeply together about what it means to be human in this time of pandemic, and faculty will help students realize how historical, humanistic research methods can respond to the challenges of the present.
