What are the details of our daily existence? What systems dominate our lives? What meanings can we make of our situation?
This social studies/humanities course will steal from various disciplines - including anthropology, critical theory, cultural studies, economics, futurology, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology - to help us make sense of our situation.
A major goal of the course will be to focus your attention on your own life. Together we will investigate major systems that create and rule our lives including capitalism, school, family, popular culture, and the US government. And we will figure out how to interpret our lives, and these systems, and the collision of our lives and these systems.
We will detour into the future and the past but our journey will be primarily contemporary.
You look like a zombie, totally zoned out of everything else, honed in on the screen. Kind of creepy, actually.

How did you magically grow more hair in the last clip (the one with the black long sleeved shirt)?
