INQ-110 | Into Larger Worlds

Full Title: Into Larger Worlds

Topic Description:

Roanoke College’s Freedom With Purpose statement explains that a liberal arts education “leads us out from small, safe worlds into larger, more interesting ones.” How might we most effectively engage with those worlds, learning from the perspectives of others? How can we best incorporate our engagement with different experiences and perspectives into our own worldview and aspirations? In this course we’ll explore the discipline of anthropology and ethnographic depictions of the lives of individuals in cultures both strange and familiar. You’ll use the ethnographic process to examine and share your own forays into larger, more interesting worlds both in your new adventures on campus and in communities beyond campus walls.

Counts as Global? Yes
