Sherman Ave’s Guide to The Best Humanities Classes: Winter 2018

HUM 217-0: Who let the dogs out? The Disjunctive Framework of Canine Criminology

“This class was a total rip-off. Ten weeks of intensive investigation and we never learned who let the dogs out. Tbh not even sure the prof knew the whole time.” (Class CTECs)

HUM 241-0: Digitizing Marginalization in the Post-Racial Colosseum and You

“I thought digitizing Music History was kind of a stretch, so no clue how Weinberg thinks we’re gonna digitize something that they made up. But, yeah, bring it on.” (Kaplan Institute Professor)

HUM 360-0: Queen Or Queer (?) ; Bees: Reimagined Genderness in the Hive

“We’re all trying to smash the patriarchy, right? And bees are, like, really big right now.” (WCAS Junior Auditing the Course)

HUM 365-0: Finding Sex in Architecture and Disenfranchising Frank Lloyd Wright

“I finally found a space to explore the phallic symbols of my daily commute. This class is really personally freeing, but not so freeing for FLW.” (Class CTECs)

HUM 380-1: Baked, Brewed, and Beheld: Deconstructing Togetherness in Bean Culture

“When I found myself, my professor, and seven classmates beholding ‘The Bean’ in Millenium Park after sampling local coffee brews I was like ‘at long last, this is how they should be spending my tuition money.’ Super rad.” (Class CTECs)

 HUM 380-2: Exhibiting Antiquity: The Culture and Politics of Display

            This one was in the course catalog.

HUM 410-0: Zeitgeists and “The Other” in the Age of The Zodiac

“Remember when I bothered you about your star sign at a party last fall? I’m proud that Northwestern took a daring step into the cultural force of the horoscope oft defamed by academic communities. Big win for me and all my Sagittarius sisters.” (Class CTECs)

HUM 460-0: Circumnavigation of Transatlantic Intersectionality in the Pacific

“Those are two different oceans.” (Class CTECs)
