IDIS 165 - Intro Peace & Justice Studies

1 Units

Students will study, and find and create spaces in which to think and see more freely in order to identify and analyze (in)justice in our own lives, communities, and world. We also will use the contemplative practices of memoir (drawing from the Moravian tradition of Lebenslaufe) and walking as resources for critical thinking. A majority of the course will involve students developing individual responses to (in)justice (“interventions”) through various projects that reflect students’ own passion and design, including academic, artistic, political, religious, social, service-oriented, and personal responses. Students submit a portfolio comprising their best work from the semester to demonstrate that they have met the learning goals of the course, and include their memoir.
