Here are liberal classes that derp thinks are valid, intelligent, and useful:
1. Stupidity: Occidental Colleges Critical Theory and Social Justice Department offers a class called Stupidity. Youll find out why we allow ourselves to be stupid, a characteristic thats called an "artifact of our nature as finite beings and one of the most powerful determinants of human destiny."
2. Mythscapes: If you take this course at Brown, youll get to wander around the grounds in search of natural symbols and clues to understanding the human world. Its part analysis of commonly used myths and allusions, part History of the Brown University Campus.
3. The meaning of home: Homesick students may want to veer away from this course from The Open University. Youll study the attachments people form with their homes, and how that "can impact personal well-being."
4. GaGa for Gaga: Sex, Gender, and Identity: The University of Virginias new course offering garnered lots of public attention when it was revealed that a graduate student was going to show Lady Gagas music videos as part of the syllabus. Its an introductory-level course in which students will study Gagas impact on feminism and gender expression while preparing for a more in-depth writing class on the same topic.
