HMN1101 Home and Away: Introducing the Humanities
SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATIONS AND ARTS
Credit Points: 15
 
Description:

This unit introduces key concepts for study in the Humanities. Students explore ideas about the ‘world’ across space and time as well as notions about ‘Home’ and the right to travel freely about the globe. The unit investigates how the belief in a ‘common’ or ‘universal’ humanity has operated in a range of cultural and historical contexts. We ask questions such as: What ethical and pragmatic principles should underpin our communities? How should the needs of distant others, indeed strangers, be weighed against the needs of our local citizens? Throughout the semester, students will engage deeply with the merits and problems of ‘cosmopolitan’ thinking.
