As our world deals with multiple crises, what is the role of the arts? This course will explore the ways that crisis has inspired art and how the arts have helped in times of crisis from ancient Greek drama to Beyonce\u2019s Lemonade<\/em>, from cave paintings to Netflix videos. Through contemporary and historical examples from visual arts, film, media, music, and theater, we will examine how art and artists thrive in times of crisis and help us cope with radical change.<\/p>\n

This course examines efforts to build community in the diverse city of Englewood New Jersey. We will examine how various racial, ethnic, and religious groups have developed a sense of \u201cPlace\u201d and the role of \u201cPlace\u201d in community formation. We will think about how the city\u2019s surroundings shape the residents’ identities, politics, and community building efforts. We will explore how race, class, religion and ethnicity have shaped the geography of the city, its politics, its culture, economy, and its rich history. We will think about how block associations, houses of worship, nonprofits, schools, and fraternal organizations seek to build community. We will explore how environmental activists, and government officials incorporate residents\u2019 understanding of their local neighborhoods and its \u201cnon-human spaces\u201d into planning decisions. And we will pay particular attention to the current challenges Englewood faces from climate change and development and its impact on the city\u2019s various communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tae Kwak<\/strong>
\nAssociate Professor of History<\/p>\n

The founding document of the United States declares our natural rights include “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” But how do we pursue happiness? What does that even mean? On a primal level, humans seek meaning and significance, including origins. According to Socrates, the freedom and vocabulary to pursue meaning is fundamental to a “life worth living.” The study of history is a study of origins, but it is also a guide for the future. The past never changes, but what we need — personally, nationally, globally — from the past in order to make the best decisions for the present and for our future, changes with our circumstances. That is why we always need new stories of the past, relevant histories for our present.<\/p>\n
