- Course Catalog Description:
- 'Ways of Knowing' is a course for Global Studies students seeking to challenge themselves with fundamental questions about how we know and understand our interconnected world. How are knowledge--and ignorance--"made"? How do we construct understandings from what we know? How are knowing and understanding different? How do different processes of research produce different forms of knowledge? What is ignorance, and how is it too "constructed"? How do we know and understand across cultures and geographies in ways that are both illuminating and ethical? Students will become more savvy, skilled, and thoughtful consumers and producers of knowledge, and more attuned to the needs for greater understanding in both personal and public realms. Topics include the difference between public discourse and scholarship; the relationship between knowledge and science; the activity of reading and its relationship to knowledge, and the history of knowledge institutions. Global Studies students will map their own interests--and their interdisciplinary major--into the complicated system of disciplines that organizes the university and provide concrete ways of approaching senior projects.
