HONR 31000 - Space-Time!
Credit Hours: 3.00. In Space-time!, we will explore how our relationship to space and time has changed over human history. We will focus primarily on the last two centuries and how interconnected changes in science, technology, and culture altered our sense of the scope, age, and nature of the reality around us. The ideas around space and time offer us an occasion to see how arts, philosophy, sciences, and our own experiences shape the way we see the world. Students, too, will explore the cross-influences of arts, philosophy, and sciences, as they write their own creative works, engage complex ideas from new perspectives, and expand their imaginations.
Learning Outcomes
1. Develop an appreciation for how the progression of science is intertwined with culture and how certain creative genres – like science fiction – explore, interrogate, and even progress scientific ideas.
2. Develop skills for exploring new ideas, engaging multiple perspectives, and synthesizing diverse ideas to create more a complex or nuanced understanding of the world around them.
3. Develop skills for raising novel questions, exploring multiple perspectives, and synthesizing divergent ideas.
Credits: 3.00
