Living Our Choices, Queenship and Change: Wisdom for today from early China
Instructor(s): Margaret Pearson, History
How can we make good decisions and cope with the results of poor ones? What skills
help us live and work effectively with others? How can we get the most out of our
lives in college and after? We will use the I ching (Yijing, Book of Changes, recent
information on queens in early China, and the works of Lao-tzu (Laozi), Confucius
and others to reach deeper understandings about the dilemmas we face and the wide
array of choices students have at Skidmore and in Saratoga.
