HNRS 104 - Navigating the Human Experience - Modernity

The Honors First-Year Sequence explores the remarkable diversity of human experiences, past and present, fosters compassion, and grounds student reflection on what makes a meaningful life. For new and continuing students, HNRS 104 further develops core habits and practices of humanities and interdisciplinary inquiry. Centering texts and media that critically engage with the concept of “modernity” and its global impacts, the course builds understanding of worlds and worldviews that coalesced over the last several hundred years and profoundly affected the lives of nearly all humans, non-human animals, and the planet as a whole. Students can expect to practice open dialogue and collaborative inquiry, sharing responsibility for sustaining a rigorous and inclusive classroom community, and cultivating both old and new ways to communicate and create. This course has been approved for study abroad. HNRS 104 is only offered on campus in Winter Quarter.
