HUM 201 — Introduction to the Humanities
This course provides a general introduction to the foundational skills of the Humanities: observation, description, analysis, and explanation. Students will consider evidence from fields including architecture, music, advertising, cartography, and literature, both fiction and non- fiction. Some evidence will be observed by way of fieldwork, with visits to sites and events of cultural significance. Emphasis will be on how meaning is constructed and 134 conveyed rather that what meaning is attributed to any given piece of evidence.
