Abstract
We are symbol users and inhabitants of imagined worlds; we are also tool makers whose hands are “dirtied” in manipulating the world.2 This course will pull us away from the ivory towers of our lofty untethered “thoughts,” which we often invest with determination of the lives we lead. (“Just put your mind to it.” “It is a question of mind over matter.” “Dream big!”) This course will moor us to an examination of our “materiality” and our engagement with the material world.
Description
This syllabus was submitted to the Rhodes College Office of Academic Affairs by the course instructor.
