Description

It seems a fortuitous--and frightening--time to be teaching a course on literature and art of war in the twentieth century. As an assistant professor in a small English department within Widener University's humanities division, which serves a range of students through our general education program, I am constantly mindful of making the aesthetic socially and ethically relevant. Furthermore, as a sometime-teacher in the General Education Honors Program, I am conscious not only of making the arts and humanities relevant to a diverse body of students but of challenging some very driven and engaged thinkers and writers. My desire both to present the humanities as socially and ethically relevant and through them to challenge students to question their own deeply held beliefs led me to propose an honors colloquium entitled "Literature and Art of War in the 20th Century." Honors colloquia in our program are seminar-style classes often with an interdisciplinary design and a focus on active student participation. Students usually lead a significant portion of the class and complete less conventional, more interactive projects. (Other recent offerings in the humanities include "The American Movie Musical" and "The Material Text.") The colloquia are open only to honors students, who are required to take two in order to graduate with advanced honors. The classes meet once a week for three hours.
