As a noun, a wonder is something that causes astonishment – a marvelous and remarkable thing. As a verb, to wonder means to be curious, or to be awed. In this class, we will explore the other worldly in order to, paradoxically, understand – and reimagine – our world. We will ask: Why do some artists and writers turn to the fantastical in order to confront the very real social arrangements of power and privilege that shape our contemporary lives? What role does imagination play in personal and social transformation? This course requires curiosity and an appetite for questions.
