An Introduction to the Arts and Humanities
In ARTHUM 1020E, students consider what it means to study “the Humanities” and how the Humanities needs to inform our understanding of our private and public roles. What is it to be human/inhuman, and what are our commitments as humanists?
They reflect on the diversity of human experience, both current and historical, and the role of the intellectual in the world within the university and beyond it. Throughout the course, they were asked to reflect on course readings, drawing from their own experience and learnings from class. They also worked to connect with local heritage by researching older residences throughout London.
Below are examples of their work.

"The Myth of Sisyphus and If This is a Man both assert that the role of routine in the absurd world depends on whether or not it is self-imposed."
