HONS 240 Honors Colloquium: Special Topics in Value and Tradition in the Nonwestern World (3-4)

Courses in this colloquium series explore the visions, values, and practices by which people of the non-Western world have shaped their life experiences. By focusing on enduring questions or critical issues, students will engage in literature and perspectives from a diversity of disciplines to understand the worldviews and traditions that are practiced in non-Western societies such as China, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa. Students will explore the issues and themes central to the study of the non-Western world and its peoples. Colloquium courses are writing and reading intensive, discussion-based, and interdisciplinary in nature.
