EDUC 657 - Otherness: Cultural Understanding, Social Differences & Diversity

3 hours
Candidates will take a snapshot of their individual traditions, cultural practices, and social norms to examine how they impact their perceptions of individuals who are different and begin to see “otherness” through a lens of empathy. Candidates will explore how diversity of thought and experiences can impact their personal and professional lives. This course will allow candidates to reflect on their Christian Faith and how it relates to otherness. They will engage in several discussions and assignments on this, reflecting on the ways in which they can integrate the principles of Faith and Scripture through devotional thoughts each week. GR
