ARLT 801 - Graduate Liberal Studies: What They Are, What They Do

3 credits
This entry seminar introduces D.Litt. students to the work of multiple disciplines in the Arts and Letters Program. It produces initial familiarity with fields of humanistic inquiry from among the program’s seven concentrations: Historical Studies; Literary Studies; Global Studies; Studies in Spirituality; Irish/Irish American Studies; Fine Arts and Media Studies; and Writing. The seminar features a team of professors from several fields of study and practice taught in the CSGS, each of whom leads the seminar for two weeks. Through broad discussion and specific readings and assignments, classes preview what the individual disciplines “do” in our time. Students participate in the weekly conversations and write six short papers. The goal is to ground and enable each student’s broad choices for D.Litt. work, from taking courses to conceiving the doctoral dissertation.
