Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Reinvigorating the humanities: developing and piloting curriculum for the Interdisciplinary Studies Initiative [The goal of this project is to further develop Manhattanville's Interdisciplinary Studies Initiative (ISI) by meeting three objectives: (1) develop syllabi for two interdisciplinary core courses; (2) pilot three interdisciplinary core courses; and (3) strengthen faculty awareness of and commitment to interdisciplinary teaching.
The ISI is a result of a directive to design a new curricular model to reinvigorate the humanities at Manhattanville, where, as at institutions of higher education nationwide, we see a trend of declining enrollment in traditional humanities courses and majors.
The ISI involves the creation of a set of interdisciplinary majors that share a core of three courses that blend major content with an explicit focus on humanistic skills, including data and information literacy, storytelling, problem solving, and ethical decision making.
Core humanities topics include but are not limited to English, history, philosophy, art history, and legal studies.]
