  • HUM 1500: Great Books

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Humanities scholarship, through the study of language, literature, history, philosophy, and communication, aims to offer insight into the foundational questions and challenges that motivate and vex the human condition and our efforts to forge community. For this reason, since its formation in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries until today, humanistic study has been vital to the formation of practical wisdom, the humane functioning of society, and the expansion of cultural understanding. Across this history, 'Great Books,' both enduring and contemporary, have recorded the Humanities' effort to bring to bear critical thinking to meet challenges and imagine new futures for the human experience. With lectures from leading faculty across the Humanities disciplines, intensive small group discussions, and a focus on impactful texts representing a cross-section of cultures and contexts, 'Great Books in the Humanities' engages students in that same tradition of interpretive, analytical, and critical thinking as equipment for meeting challenges from industry to education and politics to pop culture.

  • HUM 1550: Great Science Books

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Humanities disciplines, historically and contemporarily, contribute to and challenge the foundations, assumptions, and perspectives of scientific inquiry. Through the study of language, culture, literature, history, philosophy, and communication, the Humanities offer insight into how the objectivity of science, the popularization of its findings, its influence on society, and more is constructed through its primary texts, research practices, and epistemological values. In this course, we will explore a series of books, historical and modern, including primary texts and contemporary critiques to question and challenge how we understand science as both an object and method of inquiry. With lectures from leading faculty across the Humanities disciplines, intensive small group discussions, and a focus on influential texts representing a cross-section of cultures and contexts, 'Great Science Books' engages students in the practices of thoughtful reflection, critical thinking, and shared inquiry that are the foundations of a good life, a successful career, and a vibrant democracy.

  • HUM 2010: Intro Digital Culture

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Introduction to Digital Culture Studies offers students an introduction to digital tools, provides them with the necessary critical vocabularies for analyzing digital objects, and encourages them to test the efficacy of such tools and objects through experimentation, hands-on engagement, collaborative learning, critical reflection, and strategic play. The class situates the emergence of digital technology historically, within a rich and robust media ecology, and considers throughout the semester the way that computational networks, Command Line Interfaces, Graphical User Interfaces, authoring languages, hypertexts, data visualizations, and algorithms have emerged from a variety of historic antecedents. At the same time that we examine the history and cultural significance of digital technology, we will also be practicing how to read, write, design, and make with those same tools. For example, students will use Twine to create interactive stories, Tracery to compose ChatBots/TwitterBots, Voyant to analyze and visualize textual patterns, Python to create story generators, and R Studio for topic modeling. No technological expertise is required.
