Coursework invites students to find in themselves and others sources of deep humaneness, both as models of human goodness and examples of how we can solve conflict without oppressing and exploiting others. Finally, the course explores links between various forms of oppression, so that students can think and act in solutionary ways, creating healthy and just systems for all people, nonhuman animals, and the environment.
