HUM 195-01 - Introductory Special Topic: Futurities: Marooning, Imagining, Dreaming, Acting

1 credits (Fall)
There is No Alternative. With this statement in 1980 Margaret Thatcher summarized a neoliberal vision of our world: a world with no dreams of emancipation, change, transformation, a world where time and space would aim to one single goal, to consume. We will practice different ways of decolonizing everyday life from the effects of these ideas, cleansing our minds and senses to awaken our imaginations to other possibilities. Dare to dream, dare to act! This course includes a one day field trip to Des Moines on September 15.

Prerequisite: None.
Note: Dates: September 11 to September 20. Short course deadlines apply.
