Prerequisites: Core 101-105 and at least sixth semester standing.
Requirement Fulfillment: N/A

Graduation from college comes with both advantage and an array of ethical and moral responsibilities to self and the global society. This Core Curriculum Capstone course offers students opportunity to examine these advantages and responsibilities across disciplines and through a variety of theoretical frameworks and modes of expression. Utilizing literature, the arts, and other textual and non-textual modes of expression students will reflect on, and investigate, new possibilities in order to realize the promises of interdisciplinary models as a way to address the continuities and discontinuities of life. Students can expect to read, write, converse, lead presentations and reflect on the wide range of interpretations found in selected essays, novels, contemporary issues, and activist models, within the arts and sciences. Selections will include the essays of Mary Catherine Bateson, Ann Gibson Winfield, Ta-Nehisi Coates, David Brooks, and Laurie Ann Thompson, the novels of Jesmyn Ward, Puccini’s final opera, Turandot, the art collection at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCa) and the activism of Appalshop.
