CULTH-200
All students at CCA are required to complete Cultural History as a part of their Humanities & Sciences requirement. A menu of courses will be offered each year and students may choose from these courses to fulfill the Cultural History requirement. The courses offered to complete the requirement will be historical in nature, will have a substantial non-Western component, and will introduce students to an historical awareness of cultural diversity. Objectives include an introduction to historical and critical thinking, to research methods and uses of evidence and primary sources, and to provide historical context for contemporary citizenship.

This class will discuss causes, effects and responses to specific instances of censorship in different places around the world. We'll look at the ways ideas of "artistic freedom" are constructed in different locations, what happens socially when censorship silences voices, and creative responses to suppression, focusing on the arts. Class work will include discussion, short academic essays, and presentations.
