The Big Picture is a common intellectual experience for all new students in the WWU Honors Program. It is a lecture series grounded in Big History, a young transdisciplinary field in which scholars weave together the sum of evidentiary knowledge from all human academic disciplines into a metanarrative that frames human existence in a cosmological context. This course will take a deep look at that story, with engaging lectures by top scholars from across the university. S/U grading.
