Fall 2025 Lecture HumanitiesUpper Division
This course uses a combination of readings, videos, experiential activities, presentations, and face-to-face & virtual excursions/engagement with "other/different" international cultural groups to deepen students' ownership of their own learning and to identify and understand both similarities and differences in values and social norms across countries and cultures. Students will enhance their intercultural communication skills, their emotional resilience, and their ability to engage effectively and equitably in conversations and partnerships with people from other countries and cultures.
Learning Outcomes1Demonstrate that you recognize the relevance of the learning process and the roles you and other play in that process.
2Recognize and participate in cultural differences in verbal and nonverbal communication and begin to appropriately engage with people from other countries and cultures to negotiate a shared understanding based on those differences.
3Recognize your own strengths and understand both the values and social norms across countries and cultures and challenges in adapting and adjusting under stress, and identify practices and techniques for managing your emotions.
4Analyze substantial connections between the worldviews, experiences, and power structures of multiple cultural groups while incorporating respectful interactions with them.
