In week 1 of a two-part conversation, Dr. Steven Moore and Dr. Tracy Shilcutt will present What is Worldview? What in the world does Michael Jackson have to do with understanding worldview? This conversation will show how a contemporary work of art opens the door to a scholarly exploration race, gender, and class. We live in a very complex world of complex problems and this class will challenge your thinking on why we are so divided as humans; it has everything to do with one’s worldview.
