Overview
The Journey of the Universe - A Story for Our Times Specialization is offered by Coursera in partnership with Yale and is a course series created by senior research scholars at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim.
The courses weave the discoveries of the evolutionary sciences together with the humanities such as history, philosophy, art, and religion.
The courses in this Specialization draw on the Emmy-award winning film, Journey of the Universe, the book from Yale University Press, and a series of 20 interviews with scientists and environmentalists, titled Journey Conversations.
Applied Learning Project
As part of the Specialization, we investigate the life of Thomas Berry, a historian of world religions known for articulating a “new story” of the universe that explores the implications of the evolutionary sciences and cultural traditions for creating a flourishing future.
