INTDS 190: Exploring Difference: a multidisciplinary inquiry
Offered by: Professor Emeritus Bywater
& Associate Dean Kazi Joshua
The course will explore the question of difference from genetics to sociology, both in the natural world and the social world. We will investigate closely what is constituted in the category of “difference” and what the implications of such categorization might be. We ultimately want to explore what such understanding means for human communities. We will have over a dozen experts from the Allegheny faculty address the question form their particular disciplinary perspective through a series of guest lectures as part of the course. May count towards a philosophy major or minor: consult a philosopher for determination.
