INTD 101Topics in Interdisciplinary Studies
An introductory-level examination of a contemporary issue in an interdisciplinary manner. An issue such as COVID-19, the rise of white supremacy, or the Flint Water Crisis is examined from multiple disciplinary perspectives such as the historical, sociological, mathematical, biological, educational, and economic. Students read recent research, apply knowledge, and evaluate evidence from each discipline related to the issue being studied and complete projects that draw upon the interdisciplinary connections. Emphasis is placed on the multidisciplinary approach and the interrelated nature of pursuing understandings and solutions to an ongoing challenge. The contemporary issue addressed varies each time the course is offered. ~ Page 175 ~
