HNRS 105 - Navigating the Human Experience - Post-modernity A

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, Honors 105 further develops the core habits and practices of humanities and interdisciplinary inquiry. Emphasizing more recent texts and media, HNRS 105 centers the experiences, visions, and voices of human beings outside of North America and Europe whose lives have historically been intentionally ignored, willfully mischaracterized, or apathetically neglected. As the final course in the sequence, Honors 105 invites students to revisit, reconsider, and recontextualize material from previous quarters. Students can expect to engage in open dialogue and collaborative inquiry, sharing responsibility for sustaining a rigorous and inclusive classroom community. Cultivating and experimenting with old and new ways to communicate and create, the course critically engages with the concept of “postmodernity.” This course has been approved for study abroad. HNRS 105 is only offered on campus in Spring Quarter.
