Cosmopolitanism

Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour. Whether regarding digital communication, mass transportation, climate change, or international war, the idea that individuals and communities have become interconnected is beyond doubt. Under these circumstances, consideration of what moral, ethical, socioeconomic, and political challenges are faced in the 21st century; how people understand themselves as citizens not only of one nation, but also of this simultaneously divided and shared world; and how European artists and thinkers have negotiated between patriotism and cosmopolitanism since antiquity, and their American counterparts in the 20th and 21st centuries. Interdisciplinary approach to the examination of cosmopolitanism, also known as global citizenship or world citizenship. This concept serves as a focal point for elucidating humanistic and social scientific inquiries into universal norms, patriotic sentiments, cultural and racial diversities, and empathic identifications with strangers in need. P/NP or letter grading.

Grey bars are non-letter outcomes — P/NP, S/U, incompletes. They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department — so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.
