HIST - 575. Interdisciplinary Connections of History and Multicultural Literature
3 credit(s) Framed around universal concepts of humanity (change, diversity, intolerance, ethics, creativity, freedom, and legacy), this course is designed to illustrate the interdisciplinary connections between secondary social studies and English language arts. Recognition that these key concepts span time and place, and are applicable to every period in history, will help to develop a broad understanding of the human experience, and the unity of humanity, through the study of history and multicultural literature. In addition to the historic and literature specific content of the course, other goals include development of empathy and a respect for diversity, as well as learning how to guide discussions that value different points of view.
