HS 7570 - Critical Theories for the Human Sciences


Critical Theories in the Human Sciences takes a broad view beginning with the European philosophical roots of Critical Theory and then exploring critical theories arising from post- modernism, deconstructionism, and contemporary theories from the social sciences and humanities. Some themes to be addressed are: culture and identity; the politics of race and gender; public and private behavior in the Internet era; neuroscience and western philosophy; and how to negotiate relationships in an ethical and enriching manner in a multi-national, multi-cultural global environment. 3 credit(s)
