Class Description

We are all meaning-making animals. We build our lives out of stories that are rooted in our connections (our past, our families, our cultures, our experiences). Some of these stories bring us closer to other people, encourage us to invite them in and collaborate with them and others lead us to push away those we consider “others”. By examining the ways people build these narratives and how we can push them outwards to include ever more people in the circle of human concern, we help to build a future we can all exist in. In this course, an offering from the Othering and Belonging Institute’s Campus Bridging Project, we will work to integrate the core concepts of bridging and belonging (as well as their counterparts of bonding and breaking/othering) into understanding the work being done on Berkeley’s campus and the possibility of the work to come. The course will offer opportunities for students to develop their own understandings of bridging and belonging, learn about student groups and campus orgs already doing some of this work, and build towards their own implementation and analysis of the course concepts in real-world contexts.
