This year\u2019s cycle of Humanities Core is organized around the theme Empire and Its Ruins<\/em>, which will emphasize how humans have made sense of the rise and fall of societies and the effects of dominant structures on people who are marginalized. Empire will take us to a variety of settings, including ancient Rome, the clash between Spanish and Inca civilizations, and U.S. imperialism in Asia. This quarter, we will address the formation and maintenance of the Roman Empire; the concept of \u201cruins\u201d in painting and film; and the American ideology of Manifest Destiny. We will reflect (among other things) on how empire structures the way we think about \u201ccivilization,\u201d otherness, community, legitimacy, property, progress, resistance, and oppression. And we will analyze these ideas in written texts, images, and film.<\/div>\n
