- Philosophical argument, literary analysis, historical contextualization,
ethnographic method, visual/verbal modeling… The Humanities. All of
them, all the time.

- Is Bodies in Place Fuzzy?
- What do you mean by “fuzzy”?
- Anything goes? It’s all relative?
- Not according to us: There is no “right” answer
- Better—no single answer
- Lots of different arguments in the humanities, not just one answer but
many perspectives
- Not authoritative version of the works but different views, presented
from different perspectives:
team-teaching includes many different perspectives
|

|
- No other program emphasizes skills and approaches from different
disciplines—hence team teaching in which different disciplines are
represented
- A unique program prompting you to produce your own knowledge of the
works you study
- Make your own arguments, don’t memorize and imitate ours
- Learn how to read for yourself, closely and critically
- Learn how different disciplines in the humanities read and interpret
- Move on in winter/spring quarters to apply these skills in a sustained
course sequence based in one discipline

|
- Approaches: The particular combination of disciplines is unique
- Content: A range of materials—from a Platonic dialogue to a contemporary
computer game; classics of west and east
- Structure: To prompt both deep thought about our assigned texts and
comparisons among them, two passes through the material
- Assignments: conventional essays as well as a final multimedia project
