This course is an interdisciplinary study of cultures or regions commonly referred to as non-Western. Students examine diverse responses to enduring human questions at the intersection of local and global cultures. The course offers ways to critically engage comparative views on global cultures and in so doing broaden students' understanding of those cultures and their own. Sections may address themes that span multiple cultural spaces (such as sports or the environment) or focus on regions. Section topics vary by instructor. Only approved topics may count for general education arts and humanities credit.
