Z11784: Romantically Ambiguous Behavior in Splash 2017 (Nov. 18 - 19, 2017)
This course discusses types of behavior that people may find ambiguous in the social context. What does it mean when a man asks a woman to go to coffee or to workout together? What does it mean when two individuals of opposite gender exchange contact information on Facebook/Snapchat/Phone Numbers/E-mails, etc.? What even classifies as a date? This course will survey the class anonymously and let students read out each others opinion, to get a better understanding of what peers expect. If time allows, I can also go through a little bit of the psychology of why people think this way, and the philosophy of whether people should think this way.
