INDS 330 Ways of Knowing Journeys and 3 credits
Transformations through the Arts
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG This interdisciplinary
course is designed to create a venue in
which students explore and experience
moments of transformation and inspiration
through encounters with a set of carefully
selected works (excerpted in some cases)
from music, poetry, drama, fiction, and
the visual arts. The arts will be explored
as a way of knowing ourselves in the
world. Related themes will include:
awakening, journeying, discovering,
losing, and returning. Students will
compare classics such as "The Odyssey"
with modern interpretations such as the
musical "Telemaca." Interdisciplinary
connections among text, image, music,
movement, and cognition will be explored
through the lenses of philosophy and
psychology. Students will have
opportunities to create short works of
their own in a variety of media and will
attend various artistic performances and
exhibitions at UMBC. Prerequisite:
First-year seminar or junior standing and
by permission only.

INDS 430 Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar Global 3 credits
Migrations
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD This course
examines the flow of people, ideas,
images, commodities and capital in the
context of a world in rapid motion. We
will look at myriad migrations across
national boundaries that draw the world
into a tapestry of interconnectedness.
Through exploration of materials from the
disciplines of geography, history,
anthropology, economics, literary and
media studies and politics, we will try to
grasp the meaning and lived character of
this interconnectedness from the birth of
modernity to our post-modern period.
Finally, the course evaluates, using a
case study of human migration in three
Western societies, how the migration
process is socially, psychologically,
politically and economically mediated and
how institutions and policies change in
response.
