Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Diversity of "region" is another way to approach this. We have a strong Appalachian studies dept. that argued that some of our Appalachian literature courses should fit under the diversity requirement since its aim was to expose students to a culture different than a dominant one.

Does anyone have any experience with such overlays that include diversity of life, non-anthropocentrism, etc.? Diversity of life isn't what the framers of the requirement have in mind, but I'm curious as to whether it could be a useful addition. I'd much appreciate any insight here. You can reply to me off-list if you like. Thanks for your help. -- Elizabeth Dodd Kansas State University Manhattan, KS 66506-6501 edodd@ksu.edu --------------------------------------------------- Report list problems to listmom@interversity.org
