THE HUMANITIES
INSTITUTE

A common thread binds the
disciplines of art, history, phil-
osophy, music, politics, poetry
and religion at Douglas College
-- the Humanities Institute.

Organized by the instructors in
Douglas College's Arts and
Humanities division, the
Humanities Institute provides a
taste of world culture blended
with an interdisciplinary insight
unavailable in most classrooms
or textbooks.

“We choose movies, lectures
and panel discussions which ref-
lect and expand on our courses,”
says Sabine Mabardi, a Modern
Languages insiructor and an en-
thusiastic Humanities Institute
organizer.
