LAS 382 - Place and Purpose: A Life’s Work

3 hours
The first part of this course will study psalms and the Book of Genesis in preparation for the reading of the junior seminar common text, Laborem Exercens, the encyclical by Pope John Paul II that discusses the nature of work as common to the human experience and as an expression of human dignity.  In the second part of this course, works by author Wendell Berry will trace the related themes of place and purpose as key elements of wellbeing and productivity in work. The last part of the course will consider the relationship of work and place as it is rendered in American landscape paintings.
