9	"Differences" Differences. All kinds of differences. Different situations Different literary genres Different historical periods In fact, you could say that the course is about ways of being different.
10	Don’t tell me there’s nothing but differences here! The question: how to work through the differences to attain, not sameness, but relationships among different perspectives: relationships as deep and tight as you can make them. Part 1, part 2 of the course
11	Where to start Course as kit. Put it together. How we do this: Reading Lecture Seminar discussion Electronic discussion (24/7, yay!) Website: www.stanford.edu/class/ihum54/ Hallway discussion Papers and projects
12	PS. I hate PowerPoint.
13	Seminars are work too Formulating knowledge in common with others Engaging other points of view A collective process of discovery. Think stage performance. Panfora– the discussion section that never closes.
14	4. A last word about IHUM The mandate: skills as well as substance The ten-years-after effect Why are these courses team-taught? What will you get out of it?
15	Welcome. We’ll have fun.
