Concentration Requirements

 

Experimental Humanities draws upon the courses offered by its core faculty and includes two dedicated and required introductory courses: Introduction to Media (ARTS 235) and a course that explores the experiment.  The course exploring the experiment is offered in different iterations, depending on the expertise of the faculty member teaching it. Previous titles have included History of Experiment, Philosophy of Experiment, and Art and Experiment.

Students moderating into Experimental Humanities do so simultaneously with their primary program.

 

Moderation Requirements:

 

·         Introduction to Media OR History of Experiment (Philosophy of the Experiment spring 2021)

·         One other EH cross-listed course

 

All candidates for Moderation must demonstrate a clear idea of how the EH concentration will work with their major program of study in their short papers (or, if not moderating simultaneously into a primary program, submit a separate two- to three-page paper addressing this question).  At least one member of the Moderation board should be a faculty member affiliated with EH.

  

Graduation Requirements:  

 

·         Introduction to Media

·         History of the Experiment or Philosophy of the Experiment

·         EH elective

·         EH elective above the 200-level

·         Practicing Arts course beyond the College arts requirement or a Computer Science course

·         Senior Project I

·         Senior Project II

The senior project can take many forms depending on the requirements of your primary program(s). For EH, it need only engage with one or more of the questions and concerns of the concentration, including:

If you are using experimental methods in your own project, explain why and how they shape your inquiry and outcomes.
