This course is a section of the CUES "Big Ideas" Research Project. Our world is filled with challenges that test our ingenuity, resourcefulness, and collaboration.
In this course, you will not only explore some of these big challenges, but gain the skills in interdisciplinary reasoning, methods, and frameworks to address these challenges. Because these questions are too large for a single discipline to answer, this course takes a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach. Three parallel courses meet together several times throughout the semester to fully explore these questions from multiple disciplinary perspectives: working with students in the other classes, you will conduct collaborative research, participate in activities, and practice integrating your diverse perspectives. HNRS 160D1 guides students from a humanistic perspective, grounded in the practice and methods of photography, art history, and the study of place. *This course is a section of the CUES Big Ideas Research Project, and will occasionally be observed or recorded for research purposes.
