Legacy Seminars
The 100-level seminar in Honors serves as an introduction to the Honors Program. The seminars are based on legacies that have affected the culture and society of the United States. All UHP seminars are interdisciplinary, so Legacies must include the following:
- history
- literary works
- philosophy and/or political theory
- drama and/or poetry
- art, music, dance, and/or architecture
- science, math, and or technology
The Legacies deal with the development of ideas rather than definitive historical time. Additionally, Legacies will include primary sources important for understanding the theme or focus of the seminar. Students will get the optimum benefits if Legacies span several historical periods.
Popular thematic Legacy topics have included:
- Legacy of Power
- Legacy of Struggle
- Legacy of Exploration
- Legacy of Gender, Race, and Class
- Legacy of Technology
- Legacy of Gods and Humanity
- Legacy of Citizenship/Democracy/Freedom
Most importantly, Legacies count toward UNM's core Humanities credit.
