The Program in Humanistic studies will host an information session about “Interdisciplinary Approaches to Western Culture” on July 9 at 2:00 pm EST via Zoom.

Professor Barbara Graziosi (Classics), faculty coordinator, will give an overview of the Western Humanities Sequence and current Princeton students will talk about their experiences in the course. If you would like to attend, or if you have questions about whether the course is right for you, please contact Program Manager Stephanie Lewandowski.  

“Interdisciplinary Approaches to Western Culture” introduces students to over 2,500 years of the landmark achievements of the Western intellectual tradition. Paying close attention to societal change, upheaval, and transformation, as well as continuities, this team-taught, double-credit, course examines Western history, philosophy, and literature from antiquity to the 20th century.

Lectures and discussions investigate a wide range of issues and stimulate plural perspectives. They are enhanced by trips to museums, plays, concerts and art galleries both on campus and in New York City. Our distinguished faculty represent a wide variety of humanities departments, ranging across literature, history, religion, music, philosophy, archaeology, and art history.
