Group study of selected topics which will vary from semester to semester.

This course will focus on how we as interconnected community members can help bridge the gap from “othering” to “belonging.” Bridging calls upon us to imagine a larger, more inclusive "we." One of the ways we can bridge with one another is to engage in healthy dialogue which requires us to listen deeply. Throughout the semester we will examine the ways in which we can help bridge the gap between one another. We will learn from one another and the class will be primarily discussion based while encouraging a collaborative learning experience. We will have numerous on-campus groups come into class and share with us their lived experiences. This will help us better understand various lived experiences with the intent to develop empathy, compassion, and understanding for all walks of life.
