As the course progresses students will participate in tutorial sessions and explore an area of individual interest, reporting their findings back to the class. The class will emphasize self-directed research, and writing and presentation skills. The Winter 2002 Sophomore Tutorial will be taught by Professor Dugald Owen of the Philosophy department and will examine various aspects of knowledge. Only one Sophomore Tutorial is needed to complete the requirements for graduation with Honors. The topics change each semester depending on faculty and student interest.
Enrollment is by instructor's permission.
Women and minorities control a disproportionately small share of the world's wealth. In this course, we will use normative philosophy and economic theory to explore these questions. In this honors forum students will be introduced to the debates of contemporary museology. Ethnographic museums, art museums, and history museums all represent culture. But, the ways that cultures are represented, the authority to represent, and the cultural embedded-ness of museum practice are being contested.
