Overview
As you move forward in your academic and professional careers, you will encounter many different perspectives on topics you are engaged in. One of the hallmarks of an educated, open-minded person is the ability to recognize and appreciate the value of looking through these different “lenses” to arrive at informed views. In this course, you will begin to look through four of these lenses while you learn to find relevant information to support your views.
