FS 017 PZ -Understanding Change/Envisioning the Future


Institution: Pitzer

Description: How do we comprehend changes in technology, the economy, and society in the U.S. and globally? We will examine topics such as effects of automation, new information and communication technologies, economic inequality, and global migration, drawing upon the work of anthropologists, economists, philosophers, filmmakers, and others. How do we judge between conflicting analyses of the present and predictions about the future, and how are these analyses themselves shaped by cultural anxieties and academic debates.

Prerequisite(s): None

First-Year seminars are not listed on the course schedule. Incoming students will be assigned to a first-year seminar and registered automatically.
