Course Description:
This first-year seminar explores historical debates about new technology and will help students to contextualize current debates around technology, the culture of work, governance, and economics. Using a Reacting to the Past role-play game, students will learn about the British Industrial Revolution in the early nineteenth century. They will study and adopt the diverging perspectives of workers, industrialists, philosophers, and lawmakers to engage in lively debates in class. Students will write and revise a series of essays, improve their public speaking and rhetorical skills, and learn to find, analyze, and handle original primary sources. |
