CRGC-360 Knowledge and Power: Critical Interdisciplinary Theory and Method (3)


What are the sources of knowledge and power? How are knowledge and power produced, both in the world and in academic discourse? In this course students gain an understanding of the relationship between knowledge and power and its consequences. In particular, the course turns the lens of critical inquiry back onto academia and its constructs, including the historical creation of disciplinarity, the relationship between lived experience and the academy, and the production of knowledge in tandem with these two intersections. AU Core Integrative Requirement: Written Communication and Information Literacy II. Usually Offered: fall and spring. Prerequisite: completion of Written Communication and Information Literacy I  requirement.
