PEER EDUCATION IN HUMAN RELATIONS 212 - Making Connections

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces participants to the following 'isms,' their dynamics, and their interconnections: sexism, racism, heterosexism, classism, anti-Semitism, ageism, and ableism. It gives students, staff, and faculty an invaluable opportunity to connect and inspire one another; to deal with issues of oppression and education; to topple the wall of resentment and fear that separate men and women, white people and people of color, gay/lesbian/bisexuals and heterosexuals, poor and rich, students and teachers-and to redefine the meaning of community at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. The course addresses the notion of healing and the role of emotions and attitudes in the development of human intelligence, provides participants with a variety of traditional and innovative teaching and learning methods, and challenges the notion of hierarchical knowledge by putting students in the role of teachers and facilitators.
