INSPIRE 3MP3: A World of Big Questions and Multiple Perspectives
Tuesday and Thursday, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Room: LRW 1057
Instructor: Dr. Joe Kim
Course Description
There are many perspectives to understanding the world, and academia provides a method for society to objectively build knowledge to answer the Big Questions. However, academic papers and textbooks are written by humans who have their own perspectives, biases and agendas; often, the behind-the-scenes story is even more interesting. While exploring an eclectic mix of fascinating topics with short modules from working academics from a range of fields, we will explore the history, philosophy, controversies, and applications of the scholarly pursuit.
In this course, students will:
- Experience an expanded view of the nature of evidence-based practices
- Gain in-depth knowledge of contemporary research questions that scholars at McMaster University are exploring
- Learn to become informed and critical consumers of information and media
