LAS 192 - We Don’t Need No Education
In this seminar, we will consider the role that education, particularly college education, plays in shaping the self. We will examine this theme by reading biographies and novels from men and women as diverse as St Augustine, Ralph Ellison, Barack Obama, and the first woman to attend the University of Michigan. In most cases, we will see that while education plays a pivotal role, it is not an uncontested one. Most of our authors actually reject the lessons of their formal schooling, at least initially. As we think about the development of the self for these interesting and important people we will think about our own paths and what we are doing at Dominican University. (3 hours)
