Course description
Why do people disagree on what is real or unreal, true or untrue? Can we develop a common understanding of reality, and if so, would that understanding be true? In this seminar, we evaluate controversial claims and attempt to explain why people might believe weird things such as UFOs, ESP and ghosts. Expect to make connections with professors from different fields of study and be introduced to campus services that can aid your college career. You will collaborate with colleagues and other knowledgeable experts from around the world as you examine the fringes of reality.
