UNILWYL 1515 - Dialogue Across Political Differences

Fall. 1 credit. S/U grades only.

This is a Learning Where You Live course.

J. Gomez.

This course will be a space for genuine conversation about and across political differences. Throughout the course, students will connect with themselves and others about who they are, what they believe, and how they act as agents within political systems. They will: reflect on how our political identities are shaped and how they connect with social identities; examine political beliefs and opinions around current policy conflicts; and explore different forms of political engagement. Throughout the course participants will gain skills for communicating effectively across differences, reflect on the impact of engaging with others whose political perspectives are different from their own, and work collaboratively to foster a “brave space” where curiosity and a willingness to understand are promoted.
