Educating Desire and Imagination in a "Faith in the World" Seminar
Phelps, Matt; Waalkes, Scott
Journal of Education & Christian Belief, v16 n2 p195-214 2012
Recent conversations about Christian teaching and learning have discussed educating students' imaginations and desires. But how might one begin to educate desire and imagination? To answer, we narrate the experience of teaching a course, Living Well in a Car Culture, within a general education seminar required of all fourth-year students at a small Christian university in the United States. Our goals were for students to recognize how they have been shaped by car culture, to reimagine their participation in it, and to imagine and practice alternative ways of living. Course outcomes are illustrated with examples from students' written work.
