FS 021 PZ -The Future

Institution: Pitzer

Description: What do different thinkers believe the future will bring, and what is basis of those predictions? We will assess social science research, fiction, and one or more movies about such topics as the future of work, economic inequality, education, moral decision making, state surveillance, the climate, and social effects of technological change. In addition to sharpening your writing, research, and critical analysis skills, the course will introduce you to disciplinary differences in research and writing as we compare articles by philosophers, anthropologists, economists, historians, and cultural critics, among others.

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