Description
LS 130 African -American and Other Cultural Traditions Three credit hours
African-American and Other Cultural Traditions The aim of this interdisciplinary Freshman Studies course is to enable students to examine the process of human identity formation in Western and non-Western contexts. The course aims also to enable students to examine themselves as individuals and as citizens ??? their beliefs, values, morals, customs, fears, strengths, talents, ethnicity, ways of coping and challenging, attitudes toward learning, and interaction with other humans. Students will conduct inquiry into the systems and factors of this process beginning with those which may have formed
their individual identities: family, religious, political, and socio-cultural systems. Inquiry will be based on readings from a wide variety of cross-disciplinary materials, brainstorming through questioning, and analyzing arguments across the disciplines.
