Calendar Description / Prerequisite / Co-Requisite

Explores 12 distinct but interrelated questions about money, that elusive substance with which all of us are preoccupied, but to which few us have brought great amounts of critical intellectual attention. The course examines money from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including anthropology, archaeology, economics, history, literature, political science, psychology, religious studies, and sociology, devoting two weeks to each enduring and apparently simple question. As an introduction to one of the fundamental ideas/substances of human life, the course brings interdisciplinary knowledge, breadth, and a range of scholarly approaches to a particular subject. Note: This course will not fulfill a History majors 1000-level requirement. Note: History Majors and Minors cannot take this course to satisfy the six credits required at the 1000-level in History for major or minor credit.
