INQ-110 | Being in a Body

Full Title: Being in a Body

Topic Description:

What does it feel like to be in a body? This is something that we experience every day of our lives, yet we don’t often put into words how it feels. In this first-year seminar, we will read, discuss, and write about various people’s experiences of embodiment. We also aim to probe our own bodily experiences—and why the body matters, if it does, to you as a college student. Readings will touch upon a broad range of topics including race, queerness, transness, fatness, disability, or others. Content warning: some readings may discuss bodily violence and trauma.
