Justification for
course/change:
Gothic Humanities was taught successfully Fall 2013 as a topic in HUM 1900 (Topics in
Humanities); however, we would like to make it its own upper-division course for
several reasons. First, in an attempt to broaden offerings in humanities this is a course
that has the potential to garner interest from students on a regular basis while also
exploring significant issues in the arts. Second, the readings and topics covered in this
class are more accurately upper-division because of their depth and complexity.
