GSR-240H Honors Ethical Evaluations and Actions with City-as-Text

Course Overview

This is an Integrated Learning Course which emphasizes the fifth Undergraduate Learning Outcome: Ethics and Social Responsibility. Thus, this course focuses on enabling students to make well-reasoned ethical judgments and to apply those judgments to promote social justice. The Honors version of this course also emphasizes more sophisticated readings, research tools, questions, evidence, and analysis typical of upper level courses. This course will be taught by one or more faculty members and will focus on a central topic while drawing from more than one discipline; topics will vary from section to section and semester to semester. Students will engage in experiential learning activities related to a City-as-Text feature, which may include service learning opportunities, to reinforce and enhance the academic content of the course.
