REL 495 SR SEM: PARTICIPTN IN LIB ARTS

An exploration of the new paradigm of "full participation" by asking: What values do the liberal arts at Connecticut College embody, particularly as it institutionalizes full participation? What are the best practices and most effective strategies to expand the constituents of full participation and the liberal arts at the College and beyond? What are the features of a curriculum focused on full participation and the public good as enacted by the College, particularly in regard to areas of study, skills, and modes of critical thinking? How do we develop a robust language and discourse about full participation, the liberal arts, and the public good that is broadly compelling and translatable to a broad audience at the College and beyond?
