This seminar-style course will feature close reading of sources in Ethics, Culture and Society (ECAS), as determined by ECAS faculty in consultation with program majors. We will explore the value of utilizing an interdisciplinary approach in grappling with real-world challenges through focused readings, case studies, and structured reflections conducted in a small, informal discussion group. Content will include consideration of interdisciplinarity as a strategic approach to problem-solving as well as student-led discussion of additional texts and ongoing projects to be determined based upon participant interest and declared concentration areas within the ECAS major.
