Asking Enduring Questions in Honors (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Asking Enduring Questions in Honors
Author: Stephanie Porras
Author: Kelsey L. Bennett
Author: Kate Gaudet
Abstract: We propose a multi-institutional, interactive panel composed of National Endowment for the Humanities Enduring Questions faculty grant recipients. Humanities faculty from various disciplines, including English and art history, reflect on the ways in which honors courses are particularly well suited to be incubators of question-driven courses that foster lasting intellectual community through study of the humanities, regardless of major. This panel provides diverse models of NEH-funded courses in which faculty and students together pursue enduring questions in the humanities—including questions of justice—and advance student learning outcomes of deepening and enhancing student appreciation, through in and out-of-class experiences, for the humanities. In addition, the panel emphasizes interdisciplinary explorations of literature, drama, philosophy, the visual arts, music, and film, and other creative forms of expression. The session encourages participant questions, observations, and practices within their respective honors communities.
