University Professor and Dean Emerita, Graduate School of Arts and Science

Education Policy

HPSE GE 2130
COURSE TIME: Fridays, 12:00pm-1:40pm
COURSE TITLE:
“Higher Education and the Engaged Imagination: Representations of
Colleges and Universities”
COURSE
DESCRIPTION
Popular beliefs about higher
education arise as much from literary, and cultural, sources as from academic
and professional research. This
innovative course interrogates the idea, “How do we know what we know about
higher education?” By applying a humanistic method the course engages the
imagination of writers and readers, in
discovering and re-discovering the meaning, history, and purposes of higher
education. Through the lens of literature, but also of the other arts and
media, students will understand the hopes, fears, and conflicts associated with
higher education.
