VOC 1100VOCATION AND THE GOOD LIFE3
This course introduces students to the notion of vocation, understood as an activity that is both deeply fulfilling and meets a community need. Students will consider competing theories of human nature, fulfillment, happiness, and/or a good life. Students will reflect on their own situation, and their own opportunities to live a good life. Faculty will bring their own interests and projects as a framework for the class.
This course will bring the student’s vision of a good life to bear on the core function of the University: seeking and creating new knowledge. Students will examine the phenomenon of curiosity and explore how the process of acquiring new information can serve or derail their own projects. Possible topics include telling stories with data, the ethics of using artificial intelligence, detecting misinformation and bias, and forbidden knowledge. Faculty will bring their own interests and projects as a framework for the class.
