The development and teaching of a new undergraduate course on wisdom.

Curriculum design and delivery on the topic of "What is Wisdom?" This course will stimulate students to ask interdisciplinary questions while reading, discussing viewing and writing about works of philosophy, theology, literature, education, art and film. Development of the course will enable Dr. Cavanaugh to explore primary sources of Asian philosophy and apply that intellectual tradition in the classroom.
