Founded
in 1999, the Program in Cultures, Civilizations and Ideas teaches a year-long
intensive course focusing on the meaning of culture: what it is, how it
functions, and how we, as subjects, participate in it. The texts that we examine
exemplify a number of social, political, philosophical, and literary currents
from the past that have made us who we are as citizens, intellectuals,
artists, scientists, and observers in the world today. The sequence of
Humanities 111 and 112 is required of all students in the Engineering Faculty
as well as the Departments of English Language and Literature, Communication
and Design, Psychology, and Management. CCI faculty members are trained and conduct
research in a rich array of intellectual disciplines, including comparative
literature, cultural theory, history, and philosophy. They offer
program-specific courses, advanced interdisciplinary seminars, and electives
in other departments across the university. The CCI Program also hosts a colloquium series and
interdisciplinary symposia that address issues in the humanities. |
