Additional Description

Class Description

East and West: The Twain Do Meet was a two quarter long core class, from fall of 1990 to winter of 1991, that focused on areas of study where eastern and western thought connected. Specifically, the focus was on nuclear physics and eastern philosophies, literature, politics, theatre, and dance. In fall, students were expected to write weekly response papers on the required readings, as well as participate in dance workships. In winter, the focus changed to eastern peoples in the U.S., with guest lecturers, and musical theatre workshops.
