HON 202 Shared Futures: Research for the Common Good
3 hours
This course teaches students to become leaders in the global pursuit of the common good through collaborative inquiry and problem solving. Students will learn basic skills in interdisciplinary research including developing a research question, evaluating literature, project planning, and analysis while also considering cultural and ethical factors related to global leadership and problem solving, such as the relationship between collective goals and individual needs, and the challenges that leaders and communities face in promoting the common good. The final project for this course offers students the opportunity to practice a core set of practical skills relevant to collaborative leadership by addressing a common good issue affecting the global future of humanity, such as climate change, welfare systems, artificial intelligence or the future of foreign policy.
