An essential part of the General Education Program, the 200-level AIID 201 Studies in Arts & Humanities course addresses the objectives of the General Education Program by providing an opportunity for students to engage with enduring questions and issues in an interdisciplinary fashion by studying texts and other sources drawn from a range of different times and cultures.
The Studies in Arts & Humanities is an interdisciplinary liberal arts course.聽 It provides students with an introduction to key texts, concepts, and artifacts from different fields in the humanities聽including,聽for instance,聽history, literature, philosophy, music,聽and聽art history.

This聽course聽invites its participants to explore questions of power, domination, race, and love as categories that structure our social worlds and personal experience. We pay special attention to the concept of family: family that often provides security and stability, is also the primary seat of power. We examine family through its relation to ambivalent feelings and categories like power, domination, and violence. We also think about the ways political systems are grounded in everyday life, affect, shape, and form intimacy and love, and in this context also gender and race.
Assuming that race, gender, and intimacy are not 鈥榥atural鈥 categories, we will look at the work that goes into making them appear so and consider聽the ways in聽which their meanings and efficacy change over time. The聽course聽will examine聽closely聽essays and literary works by Toni Morrison, Zadie Smith, Sigmund Freud, Anton Chekhov, Tillie Olsen, Judith Butler, June Jordan, Audre Lorde,聽and more. We will discuss聽Antigone聽by Sophocles and examine questions of race, class, and identity in聽鈥淩ecitatif鈥澛燽y聽Toni Morrison. Through these works we will ask聽how social identities鈥攅.g., race, gender, sexuality, and social class鈥攁nd regional contexts shape people鈥檚 experiences of close human relationships. In this聽course, we consider politics as a medium of domination and change. Thus, this聽course聽calls as much attention to those individual and collective forms of resistance as it does to their absence.
A main concept in this class 鈥 as you might surmise from the description above – is聽ambivalence.聽 We examine ambivalence in this course through literary as well as interdisciplinary frameworks.

Our theme for this section will be the hero and hero鈥檚 journey and the ways in which the hero reflects the values of her/his culture in literature and in art. The term 鈥渉ero鈥 is both male and female and includes antiheroes as well.聽 Readings that emphasize this include The Epic of Gilgamesh, Oedipus or Medea, Othello, Candide, The Doll鈥檚 House, and The Metamorphosis. Through writing and discussion we will examine our own values as well.
From the Garden of Eden story in the Bible to the thoughts of early Greek and Hindu philosophers and from a story of love and murder set in 16th century Istanbul to the writings of a 19th century Hasidic master.
Studies in Arts and Humanities is a course in which we examine ancient and modern cultures through the lens of different disciplines.聽 We will examine the differing ways societies manage and question issues of proper government, morality, and personal relationships.聽 We will explore the process by which individuals and groups challenge authority and change perceptions of divinity, belief, social conventions, and norms of behavior.

In this class we will study liberation movements throughout history as they are represented in poetry, plays, novels, films, and manifestos. We will read about a revolution against food insecurity in ancient Rome (Plutarch), the agrarian socialism of the Diggers in early modern England, and Shakespeare’s retelling of ancient Roman food riots in his play聽Coriolanus. We will read Marx and Engels’聽The Communist Manifesto,聽anti-colonial manifestos (e.g., Aim茅 C茅saire’s “Discourse on Colonialism”), manifestos from women’s liberation movements (from Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Women” to manifestos of second- and third-wave feminisms) and from queer liberation movements (e.g., Zoe Leonard’s “I Want a President”). We will end by looking at narratives of Occupy Wall Street, as well as more recent uprisings (e.g., Black Lives Matter, January 6th, Gaza campus encampments).
Literature, art, music, dance, and every form of artistic expression often address the very human question of how we, as human beings, think, feel, and experience life from multiple perspectives.
