HONOR 2118 - IT: Land, Trad, Health

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Honors College

Description:

An intensive discussion-based course with fieldwork components that brings to close the Honors College's Health minor. The three major components'Health, Land, and Tradition'will be explored through the lens of what we'll refer to throughout the course as integrated thinking. At the heart of integrated thinking is the understanding of the interconnectedness of things, and the ability to foster fresh questions by applying a systems approach. One way to go about integrated thinking is to explore various perspectives and lenses in our engagement with subjectivity, literary productions, art, politics, ethics, philosophy, science, and citizenship. We will pay special attention to what some call an 'Eastern' perspective and how such practices merge with mainstream notions of health and healing. We'll also look to Indigenous voices to better understand the long healing traditions related to the land, the Earth. The main object of Honors 2810 is for students to experience a wide breadth of texts and practices that not only continue to inform integrated thinking today, but also lead to personal transformation and growth in the context of health. We will divide each class into a discussion of contemporary issues, discussion, and exercises regarding the weekly readings, just as we will devote time to writing and student performances. Assignments will be graded throughout the semester with personal growth as a contributor to our small community as the major means of assessment.
