LC 323 - Learning Community: Stonehill and How to Fix It

Three Credits
Not Offered 2013-2014

When pressed, many of our best students indicate that while they are satisfied with classes and professors, something is missing intellectually from their life at the college. But they tend to be vague when asked what is missing and even vaguer when they are pressed for a solution. In this class, we’ll try to cut through the vagueness and try to answer the following question: What is the problem? How can we make Stonehill a better place for such students i.e., for you?

In other words, the goal for the integrative seminar of this learning community is to develop a concrete and realistic proposal for what Stonehill should do in order to become a better place for you and how to do it, based as much as possible on solid empirical data.

The Philosophy and the Religious Studies classes go beyond Stonehill, asking what how we should handle the ethical and religious challenges in our lives, what we can do both as individuals and as a society to make our lives better and what that would mean. Simply put: How should we live?
