About the course
Can the beauty of the world enlist us in protecting life from injury? How do the pleasures of humour entice us to confront the peril of nuclear holocaust rather than turning away? This course explores the experience of being human in ominous times. We discover potential sources of hope, aliveness and engagement via historical and contemporary thinkers and artists, in-class interviews with invited guests, and students' own research projects.
