LC 26500 - Introduction to NeuroHumanities (Undergraduate Level; 3 credits)
New for Fall 2025! This course introduces students to the main developments in the neurohumanities particularly since the 1990s, with focus on cognitive literary and cultural studies. The course emphasizes not only the role of psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and other STEM and social scientific fields in interpreting cultural artifacts, but also how literary and cultural studies contribute significantly to those fields. Students will learn skills which will enable them to consider and interpret works of art, broadly defined, through a highly interdisciplinary cognitive-studies lens as they explore how the humanities are intricately intertwined with the sciences.
