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.

Family and Student Survey

Please ask Andy for your student ID (9 digits) and your passcode (1-3 digits). Your student ID number is on your student ID card, if you still have that. Please when you ask me for the student ID have your cellphone or paper/pen ready to write it down, and tell me your last name.

Please navigate to http://dashtodd.com/liftoff/survey/

Please type in the student ID and passcode.

Please complete the student survey. Answer as honestly as possible but skip a question if you think its too private.

Please bring the digits home and ask the family member who is most active and reliable in supporting your education to fill out the family survey.
