HUM 360 - Seeing Others, Seeing Ourselves

3 Credit(s)

This course will explore representations of the relations between dominant and minority cultures. The representations under scrutiny enter into a wide range of cultural practices, and thus call for an interdisciplinary study involving various branches of the humanities. Literature, music, art, film, and history—all will be considered in an examination of how culture creates systems of inclusion and exclusion that position individuals inside or outside a domain of privilege on the basis of criteria such as class, race, and gender.
