IDS 3000 - How Do We Know? (3)

When Offered: On Demand
This topics-based course takes an interdisciplinary approach in considering and analyzing what knowledge is, how we produce it, disseminate it, and categorize it. We will walk through some historical ideas about where we get information, how and what we “know” and how that has changed over time. Students will select several contemporary issues and will explore how knowledge about those issues is created and disseminated through media to influence public action or inaction.
Prerequisite: RC 2001 or its equivalent.
