DEPARTMENT OF DARWIN (or evolutionary) STUDIES
Does anyone know of any such animal? I mean where one can get a degree
(BA, MA, PhD) that requires courses across the curriculum that deal with
the insights of Darwinism in the respective fields, like Darwinian
Psychology, Darwinian Politics, Evolutionary Economics, etc. There are
courses and books along these lines, but I know of no interdisciplinary
degree. If such a department exists, it will be the first field to stretch
across the sciences and humanities.
There are programs in evolutionary studies at the University of Chicago
and one in Japan, but they are ensconced in the biology department.
Binghamton University offers a certificate (both at the undergraduate and
graduate level) for having taken a certain number of fine courses on
evolutionary applications in various departments, but one does not earn a
degree.
While I would like to know about other such examples, I am looking for an
actual degree and and actual department.
