LAS 318 - Work as a Search for Dignity 3 hours
This seminar will be writing intensive, focusing on human work as a search for dignity. In his Encyclical On Human Work (the main text of Junior seminar), Pope John Paul II notes that any job should be judged “above all by the measure of the dignity of the subject of work, that is to say, the person, the individual who carries it out.” We will apply this idea and others from the encyclical to various texts, including contemporary essays on income inequality, poems by Jean Toomer and Robert Frost, and the long fictional story Life in the Iron Mills by Rebecca Harding Davis. Since our section is writing intensive, two major assignments will be (1) an annotated bibliography (replete with library workshops that allow transfer students to fulfill the graduation requirement of achieving research literacy) and (2) a researched essay that includes argument and analysis.
Prerequisite(s): Junior standing.
