About the class
Throughout our lives we are exposed. We are exposed to environments. We are exposed to toxins. We are exposed to culture. We are exposed to contexts. We are even exposed to our own genetic makeup. In this course, students will develop research projects to explore how exposure shapes our health, our identity, our behavior, and the way we interpret the world. Two things make this course unique: First, students will work in groups to conduct their own research on any topic of their choice, from how people interact on campus to how proteins interact in a cell. Second, rather than a single professor, five teacher-scholars from the fields of psychology, history, religion, philosophy, genetics and neuroscience, will co-teach the course. While studying the many ways exposure shapes our identities, students will have the opportunity to experience five different fields of study. So, what will you expose yourself to?
