From a scientific perspective, we will focus on the core scientific principals related to Cosmology, Physics, Biology and Geology that address fundamental questions regarding the origins of the universe, time, stars, the Earth, and its inhabitants. The scientific perspective will be balanced by the humanist view, though which we will examine cultural and historical expressions of the problem of "beginning”, paying close attention to Dine (Navajo) and Greco-Roman/Christian cultural narratives, and contemporary Science Fiction fantasies about origin. 360 Application: https://www.brynmawr.edu/academics/special-academic-programs/360-course-clusters/upcoming-clusters/fall-2016-application-2 |
