Humanities

This new course, “Seminar for the Core as Praxis/Fieldwork,” will provide an opportunity to explore the ways in which the methods of interpretation and habits of mind established in courses in the Core Curriculum will inform your experiences beyond the classroom. Students will be guided through a process of reflection on their ideas about a Core text and on their experience in an internship, to see how theory can be observed or put into action in practice. Students will choose a text that they have studied previously in Literature Humanities or in Contemporary Civilization as the basis for their work over the summer. Therefore, (1) students must be engaged in an internship during the summer, and (2) students must register for the section of HUMA S2000 that represents the class from which they will choose their text to revisit (i.e., enroll in a section titled Literature Humanities (Fieldwork) or Contemporary Civilization (Fieldwork)). This elective course counts toward the degree requirements for Columbia College and The School of General Studies Students, and students may enroll in HUMA S2000 up to two times to earn a maximum of two (2) academic credits toward the degree.
