Exploring the Outside: At Eckerd College, our entire community is encouraged to “think outside.” But what exactly does thinking outside mean? Is it literal, in the sense that we should go outdoors and explore the natural environment? Does it mean we should think outside the box, like creators and entrepreneurs? Are we being invited to expand our minds through the liberal arts? In this course, we will consider these questions, and more. From adventure leadership to the psychology of creativity, we’ll dive into the outside world through literature, media, and experiential exercises. Along the way we’ll explore – and challenge – the physical, social, and cognitive boundaries that often go unnoticed.
