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. This quarter, we will address the formation and maintenance of the Roman Empire, the concept of \u201cruins\u201d in Enlightenment-era philosophy and visual art, and the impact of the American ideology of Manifest Destiny on indigenous communities. We will reflect on how empire structures the way we think about \u201ccivilization,\u201d otherness, community, legitimacy, property, progress, resistance, and oppression by analyzing these ideas in written texts, images, and film.<\/p>\n
