EXP 1109 - Identity of Music

Credits: 3

Explorations Courses focus on enduring questions. Enduring questions do not have easy answers; instead, they encourage examination of complex issues from multiple perspectives, introspection, evidence-based arguments, and learning how to respectfully discuss controversial and difficult topics. The purpose of this course is to gain an understanding of the many ways in which understanding musical traditions found in a community can provide a pathway to deeper understanding of the world views, power, and structures found in underrepresented communities. Students will also examine the Merrimack Connections curriculum.
