Honors Windows to the World
IDH 4030H, Class Number: 16507
TR 3:00–4:15 PM
Section 201, Dr. Tyler Fisher
“Narrative,” by definition, is a selective representation of events in a meaningful, interrelated sequence. But this bare-bones abstraction can scarcely capture the richly diverse and potent ways in which humans use narrative — a fundamental tool of thought and expression by which we comprehend, remember, explain, persuade, and deceive. This course will explore concepts of “narrative” across academic disciplines and cultures. In-depth readings and discussions will encompass research and theorizing on narrative, its manifestations in important texts across time, and its implications for students’ personal and intellectual development. For some academic majors and fields of study, the central importance of narrative is self-evident. History, marketing, literature, creative writing, theater, and journalism, to name only a few disciplines, foreground narrative in their theory, practice, and criticism. But narrative is no less fundamental, if less apparent, for fields ranging from theoretical physics to economics, from diplomacy and public policy to epidemiology. By equipping students to reflect on and articulate their expertise, experiences, and aspirations, this course will benefit students in planning and preparation for the admissions process for graduate schools and competitions for national and international academic awards. If you are interested in this seminar, please contact Dr. Tyler Fisher at tyler.fisher@ucf.edu to discuss enrollment.

Honors Windows to the World
IDH 4030H, Class Number: 13242
Section 201, Dr. Tyler Fisher

“Narrative,” by definition, is a selective representation of events in a meaningful, interrelated sequence. But this bare-bones abstraction can scarcely capture the richly diverse and potent ways in which humans use narrative — a fundamental tool of thought and expression by which we comprehend, remember, explain, persuade, and deceive. This course will explore concepts of “narrative” across academic disciplines and cultures. In-depth readings and discussions will encompass research and theorizing on narrative, its manifestations in important texts across time, and its implications for students’ personal and intellectual development. For some academic majors and fields of study, the central importance of narrative is self-evident. History, marketing, literature, creative writing, theater, and journalism, to name only a few disciplines, foreground narrative in their theory, practice, and criticism. But narrative is no less fundamental, if less apparent, for fields ranging from theoretical physics to economics, from diplomacy and public policy to epidemiology. By equipping students to reflect on and articulate their expertise, experiences, and aspirations, this course will benefit students in planning and preparation for the admissions process for graduate schools and competitions for national and international academic awards.
