Black: Color and Concept, An Art Historical Phenomenology

This course is a meditation and a critical interpretation of black, a subject that covers a vast range of human experience beyond being a color, or even a concept. Using a methodology that combines a wide range of humanities-based approaches (art history, cultural studies, and philosophy, to name a few), Black: Color and Concept, An Art Historical Phenomenology is an engaged and inclusive cultural history that brings students into scholarly discourse by asking them to reflect on their own experiences and backgrounds. The study of the humanities allows us to think expansively and deeply about the world around us, to contextualize it, and to create change. This is a ZeroCost Course.
