INQ-120 | Ethics in Performance

Full Title: Ethics in Comtemporary Performance

Topic Description:

Plays have always responded to the time and place in which it was written, often to controversial, even riotous, ends. In this class, we will ask what are the gray areas in social beliefs as compared to personal ones? How do we hold people accountable for their actions and words? Is there any truly universal right/wrong perspective? Who decides it? How can we judge the past or other cultures from our current place and point of view? The expectation is not that everyone will agree but that there is an application of critical thought regarding content and context.

Counts as Global? No
