ARHI 1100 L21 - Art History Introduction: World Art
Summer Session II, July 5 – August 7, 2023
Lincoln Center, Hybrid: TWTh, 09:00AM - 12:00PM

This course is an introduction to the study of art history, approached from a global perspective. It reaches back to Cycladic art (c. 3300 to 1100 BCE) and ends with the present. Because most human societies have created art, this course looks at works created in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa. And since art objects can and do move across cultural boundaries, it also looks at the cross-cultural transmission of artworks. Students will learn about how peoples across space and time created works of art and architecture in response to social crisis, as an aid to or container of ritual, and to express norms and ideals of gender. Students will come to understand how and why abstraction and naturalism emerged at different times and places. The course is a collaborative endeavor, co-designed by faculty members in Fordham’s program in art history (Professors Beach, Ikeda, Isaak, Mundy, Rowe, Ruvoldt, and Teverson), and facilitated by our curator for visual resources (Katherina Fostano) and a team of teaching assistants. Through this course, therefore, as you gain a broad and deep understanding of art history, you will also get to know leading scholars in the field and peers who are enthusiastic about the study of art and will help you see how it intersects with the interests and concerns of the current moment. Portions of the class will take place online while live sessions will focus on museum visits.

COMC 4380 L21 - Media and Moral Philosophy
Summer Session II, July 5 – August 7, 2023
Lincoln Center, Hybrid: MW, 01:00PM - 04:00PM

This seminar examines public discourse through the lens of moral philosophy. Debate in the public sphere often uses moral narratives to make sense of difficult issues or events. When something grips the national attention—such as a school shooting, a hotly contested election, or an environmental disaster—we don’t just need to know what happened, we also need to grapple with why. We want to understand whether and how this changes who we are as a society and our place in history. To this end, news and social media create diverse and often contradictory narratives about who is blameworthy and who is a victim, about what moral goods are at stake and the best way to protect and promote them. Understanding these narratives in moral terms is crucial to becoming an ethically informed public citizen, because it helps us grasp the deeply human stakes underlying what may often seem like endless newsfeed chatter. Each iteration of the course focuses on a different issue. In this version of the course, we will be looking at the moral narratives around gender.
