About Me
As UJ's Reference and Instruction Librarian, I work with students and faculty from all departments and fields of study. I'm passionate about lifelong learning, teaching research skills, and making the library an accessible and useful resource for all. Ask me about my pets or what I'm currently reading if you really want to get me going.

Description

This class provides students with the opportunity to explore a contemporary dilemma. Students will read an assigned book during the first half of the semester, complete online assignments focused on that book, and meet twice with the instructor and other students for discussion. During the second half of the semester, each student will develop an interdisciplinary study focused on a theme from the book. Students will meet once individually with the instructor to develop a plan for that study, and then again as a group to deliver a presentation that summarizes that study. Prerequisite: Hnrs 110 and 2 honors semiars. Offered: Spring
