ENGL 3307 Imagination and Knowledge

This course introduces students to interdisciplinary work in the arts and humanities. It presents an eclectic range of questions from fields such as literature, art, theater, music, philosophy, history, religious studies, linguistics, and cultural studies. The course affirms the diversity of effective tactics for answering questions, solving problems, and exploring new territory within these disciplines, and it emphasizes the creative traffic between them. The course, which is both a reflective and an experiential inquiry into the essence and value of a liberal arts education, is intended not only for majors in the arts and humanities. In accord with a cardinal virtue of the UIW Mission--the education of the whole person--the course is recommended for students in any field.
