LC 19 The Art of Understanding


 

About

Learning another language and different ethical belief systems encourage you to understand other people and discover a human being within yourself that you didn’t know. You are different in a different language, and that experience is unique. The art of understanding requires, among other things, adequate communication skills in a language and culture, a sensitivity to different belief systems, critical thinking, and an ability to reflect on oneself in relation to others. In this LC, students will cultivate the art of understanding through courses in Spanish and Philosophy, and a writing intensive Reflective Tutorial that includes a community based project. Their coursework in Spanish and Philosophy will include the study of Spanish language, literature, and culture, and philosophical ethical theory in relation to moral problems. Their Reflective Tutorial will include readings that encourage interdisciplinary reflection on the themes of the LC, and completion of a community based project that contextualizes the classroom learning in a real world experience.
