NC 0290 Dialoguing in Global Education
The smaller the world grows, the more important living with different perspectives and among others becomes. Guiding questions in this course include: What is culture? How is the term "culture" problematic, given its malleability, deployment, and potentially hegemonic use? How does subjectivity become instantiated in/as culture? What do we need to understand about the lives of others to make ourselves open to listening and learning about and from others while making the world mutually intelligible? This course uses a combination of queries from students and literature on identity, both individual and social, to explore these questions and offer students a framework to use in their fieldwork experience.
