Integrated Core: Introduction to Energy Humanities

3 units (1-0-2)   |  first, second, third terms
Prerequisites: concurrent enrollment in other integrated core classes and instructor permission.
This sequence of humanities courses will introduce students to political philosophy and ethics, historical research, and literary analysis, in conjunction with themes treated in other parts of the integrated core. Key topics will include the ethics of space travel, the history of Caltech energy research, and contemporary climate fiction. All three terms together count as the equivalent of a single 9-unit first-year humanities class; students may choose their other first-year humanities class from any area of humanities instruction.
