Humanities: Disciplines
Humanities across the disciplines
Humanities courses use insights from disciplines (including art, film, history, literature, music, Native American studies, philosophy, theater and world languages) to explore age old questions:
- What does it mean to live a good and meaningful life?
- What roles do family and community and work play in the equation?
- What of politics, religion, race and gender?
- How should one person's experience of the "good life" impact another's?
Explore library books, ebooks, DVDs and streaming videos that show how different disciplines approach these profound questions.
