Given BWU’s well-known
successes in the fields of science and business, you might think the university’s
interest in the humanities would lag far behind. Nothing would be further from
the truth. Business may be what we do for a living, but art is what we live for.
Our Fine Arts programs are complemented by degrees in Artificial Arts. The Suk
Lee Choreographer was developed in a joint Dance/Computing project at BWU-Pyongyang,
which also gave us world renowned Serigrapher Kim Kim.
Music composition changed forever in the hands of now-legendary Dr. Basil Czekman
(BWU-Edinburgh) and his research into how music affects certain centers in the
brain. Dr. Czekman’s models have been employed in nearly every social field,
with music being engineered to affect the emotive and empathetic abilities of
the listeners. Music has taken great strides forward as not only a form of entertainment
but also a means of aiding psychological therapy. A.I.-composed Czekman-jingles
are at the (patent-protected!) heart of the marketing success of many BWU businesses.
The historians and philosophers of BWU, such as Dr. Ram Sinha, (Bangalore—early
Buddhist schismatics), Dr. Jennifer Mo (Fez—semiotics of the Sephardic Diaspora),
and Dr. Javy Gomez-Adela (Guadalajara—Mexican soap operas of the television
age) deepen our understanding of what it means to be human.
At the end of the day, all of BWU’s endeavors are about improving the human
condition. The Humanities Department helps us become more aware of just what the
human condition is and how we want to improve it.
