UNIV-20001 Interdisciplinary Seminar: From Dystopias to Utopias: Imagining and Creating Better Worlds

In this interdisciplinary seminar, students will examine selections from the genre of dystopian speculative fiction, using the lenses of sociological data, principles, and methods as well as the lenses of Christian theological ethical theory and values, in order to theorize about and practically address the causes and consequences of social problems such as inequality, racism, sexism, poverty, and hunger. Students will imagine, present, and enact strategies for the improvement of society through a community engaged learning project.
