Description
Conversations: Imagining Lives through World Literature.
Students in this course read narratives from world literature which raise important ethical questions. They apply those questions to their own thoughts and experiences, concluding the course in an exercise of what Martha Nussbaum calls the “narrative imagination.” At least 50 percent of the assigned narratives come from a common set of “transformative texts” from diverse cultures, with at least two common to every section, and at least one course reading or assignment will engage with the featured production in the theater program.
