HUM 128 — Music, Power, and Social Change
This course provides an interdisciplinary overview of significant creative and intellectual accomplishments from diverse non-Western cultures. Students will investigate how music and other forms of art can be a force for social and political transformation, looking at how music-making has reflected and influenced social movements and political consciousness over time. The course will also compare and contrast Western cultural expression with non-Western ideals, motifs, and aesthetics, advancing a more comprehensive understanding of international artistic traditions. (Since HUM 128 and MUS 128 are the same course, credit will be given for either HUM 128 or MUS 128 , but not both.) IAI HF 904N
