LAS 446 - Education’s End 3 Credit Hours
Dominican University hopes that its students will develop “an emerging sense of personal and professional vocation” and come to “possess character, knowledge, and skills to take informed, ethical action in the world and to influence others for the good” (Vision for Undergraduate Education). This seminar asks seniors approaching graduation to recall and take stock of their own learning over the last few years, to make connections across their coursework, to track changes in their assumptions, beliefs, and values, and to envision their future selves. Recollection and reflection on each student’s trajectory will be done in dialogue with diverse readings, films, and other media introduced in the seminar, all exploring the basic question of discerning one’s calling and leading a life that “pursues truth, gives compassionate service, and participates in the creation of a more just and humane world.” This seminar includes a circle practice (drawn from restorative justice models) in which students will explore questions related to the course texts and vocational exploration.
Prerequisite(s): Senior standing.
