This course satisfies BOTH Honors Interdisciplinary AND UW's Composition requirements.
Expectations for students include: attending all classes with the (substantial) assigned readings completed; contributing to small group presentations; considering one’s own belief systems and the belief systems in a respectful and curious manner; being willing to experiment in writing styles and genres. In the end, students should be active questioning learners and show evidence of this engagement.
Goals for the course include: learning how to negotiate and navigate with different ways of knowing; developing empathic and creative imagination; enhancing student writing; creating models for civic dialogue; and articulating individual learning.
The course will connect often-separated worlds of research and practice, university and “real world” expertise, and writing and dialogic education.
