Strengthening Humanistic Perspectives across the Curriculum: A Project [Report].
To-Dutka, Julia; Spencer, Sharon
Montclair (New Jersey) State College sought to develop a structure that would facilitate the strengthening of humanistic perspectives in its students and would enable students to see the connections between their academic studies and the complex aspects of the meaning of being human in a world that is increasingly fragmented. Six pairs of faculty members, with one member of each pair from a humanities discipline and one from a professional or pre-professional area, were selected for a project in which courses were revised or created to offer a humanistic perspective of the course content. Examples of course revisions and new courses stimulated by the interdisciplinary collaboration are described through course materials such as objectives, schedules, and reading lists. Pairings of disciplines included Spanish language and marketing, anthropology and health education, United States history and economics, public policies towards business, communications science/disorders and philosophy, ethics and biology, and speech/theatre and film studies.
