ETHN 216 - The Public Intellectual and Artist

FC CNDP, DDHU

4 credits
This course invites students to consider the role of the artist and the intellectual in public life. We will look at the scholarly work of public intellectuals and music of popular artists to consider the ways academic arguments and musical innovation are translated for public audiences. Through their work, these thinkers ignite passionate debate, introduce cutting-edge ideas, and bridge the gap between the liberal arts and the broader world in which we live.

Prerequisites: ESOL 130 (for students in ESOL sequence).
