BRANDEIS PROGRAM IN CONFLICT AND COEXISTENCE
NOT OFFERED FALL 2012

What is diversity? What is race? What is racism? The course will examine these and many other timely topics along with the implications for these questions in a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious world. The course is based on the assumption that Diversity is more than multiculturalism, racial, gender, and sexual or religious equality. The course posits that the future challenges of diversity are about finding strategies to accept differences in identity without losing or having local or individual identities threatened. These and other important questions will be raised through readings, case studies and interactive exercises. The course will give preference to Brandeis Masters students in the fields of Conflict and Coexistence and Sustainable International Development but will also be open to other students with approval from the instructor. (Tuesday: 1:40-4:30 p.m.)
