The Humanities and the University – II

Inspired by neo-humanism, the research university was to facilitate self-cultivation, aesthetic appreciation (especially through knowledge of classical antiquity), and a wider intellectual horizon (through studying history and foreign cultures). Yet, contrary to these lofty ideals, its most enduring legacy has been entrenched class interests, social segregation, Germanism, nationalism, and narrow specialization. In the second part of this course, we shall focus especially on the contemporary crisis of the university as reflected in declining enrollments, departmental closures, vanishing employment opportunities, and a failure to keep pace with social and political transformations.

  • Description

Description

In this course, students will make the university itself—as a historical creation, a social body, and an institution—into an object of analysis. They will reflect on problems with the university, its relation to the wider public, and the dangers that concentration and specialization pose for learning. They will also gain critical insight into the university as an instrument of social segregation and control. Student projects can include: examining education access and outcomes for black vs. white students, graduate placement, and contemporary debates over affirmative action and discriminatory admission policies (e.g., at Harvard and other Ivy Leagues).  

Area of Study: History and Methods

Required/Elective: Elective

Prerequisites: Admission  into a Program of Study and completion of HAM 7401 – The Humanities and the University I
