Honors First-Year Seminars

UHP 189 Honors 1st-year Seminar - Top/Social Justice and the City

Sec	Number	Type	Units	Days	Hours	Facility	Instructor	K-State 8
A	17083	SEM	1	T	2:30 - 3:20	LSP 127	Rishi, Susmita	None
While home to the richest people in the world, contemporary cities also give rise to extreme forms of poverty and inequality. This course will investigate some of the social and economic inequalities that shape contemporary cities. The class will focus on broad debates rather than delving deeply into one specific field. On a weekly basis, the course will introduce different lenses for considering inequality. Focusing on processes such as segregation, gentrification, informality, policing, fortification, and enclaving, the course will tie these to how the contemporary city is produced, governed, and imagined.
Permission is not required for UHP 189 courses.

 

UHP 189 Honors 1st-year Seminar - Top/Telling Your Story: the Art of Crafting Personal Statements

Sec	Number	Type	Units	Days	Hours	Facility	Instructor	K-State 8
B	14159	SEM	1	W	9:30 - 10:20	LSP 127	Powers, Beth	None
This class will use short readings from notable autobiographies, such as Trevor Noah, Wes Moore, and Temple Grandin, as models for discussion of personal statement writing. We will go through a multi-draft personal statement writing process and fine tune our skills at interpreting what is being asked for in various personal statement prompts. The goal is to learn how to tell your story with authenticity and style.
Permission is not required for UHP 189 courses.

ENGL 210 Honors English - Top/Close Encounters of the Literary Kind

Sec	Number	Type	Units	Days	Hours	Facility	Instructor	K-State 8
A	10778	REC	3	TU	2:30 - 3:45	EH	Tung	None
The literary critic Edward Said defines education in the Humanities as “a sustained encounter with the actualities of reading and interpretation.” This course asks students to question what it means to be a reader encountering a text. What kind of expectations do we carry? How do texts reinforce or subvert these expectations? And, paraphrasing the Renaissance poet, Ben Jonson, how do we “read [texts] well: that is, to understand”? In this course, we will focus on literary classics continually referenced by popular culture, like the countless adaptations of Frankenstein in film, TV, and theater. How are our encounters with texts shaped, for better or worse, by the cultural consciousness? What is it about these texts that make them popular and relevant? How do allusions to other works operate meaningfully within the texts we encounter? In addition, we will consider how encounters are portrayed (in the more traditional sense) in books like Gulliver’s Travels and The Tempest and films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and Arrival (2016). These works not only chronicle travel to foreign lands and/or contact with the “other,” but also attempt to destabilize the familiar, blurring the boundaries between the natural and supernatural, alien and terrestrial, ancient and modern, moral and immoral, and society and self, thus calling into question what it means to be human. Course requirements: active class participation, weekly online discussion board posts, writing workshop assignments, and three papers.
