The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the role of the humanities in engaging with broader social, political, economic, and environmental dialogues. It takes students on a journey through the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) from a theoretical perspective to practical applications. Through a diverse range of discussion examples, including documentary and feature films, photography, and literature, from various geographies such as Argentina, Australia, China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France, Greenland, Haiti, India, Japan, Peru, Rwanda, Senegal, and the United States, students explore how the humanities contribute to understanding and addressing these global challenges.
The course is designed to be discipline-agnostic, meaning it can be used by students and instructors at the undergraduate and postgraduate level from any subject background, particularly but not exclusively those in the humanities. It contains discussion questions, research assignments, writing prompts, and creative project ideas to facilitate active learning and engagement. By exploring the intersection of the humanities and the UN SDGs, students gain a deeper appreciation of the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the role of cultural and artistic expressions in promoting social change.
Overall, the course aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to contribute to the global conversation on sustainable development and to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
