Integrated Core Theme: Revolutions: Real, Imagined, and Digital

This ICT explores how revolution is understood in particular times and places, and its roles in the past and present. The world in which we live was created by numerous political, social, cultural, intellectual, and economic upheavals. Iona College itself is directly connected to these trends through its Institute for Thomas Paine Studies (ITPS). We are also witnessing a profound and rapid transformation of information and communications technologies that alter the modes in which we study the humanities. The examination of the ICT theme will be enhanced in the Humanities Centerpiece courses by addressing media and information literacy skills that are an essential component of the digital humanities. For more information about this and other ICTs visit the Iona College website page. For any questions, contact Dr. Nora Slonimsky at nslonimsky@iona.edu.
