Engaging with ideas that have shaped the human experience across diverse eras and cultures, students are encouraged to reconsider their preconceptions and contextualize the present within a historical framework.Topics vary semester to semester. Please see the syllabus for each section for more information about the topic. This course fulfills the Honors Intellectual Traditions Core requirement.
