| Department: | Religion |
| Description: | Nonviolence is a powerful way of life for courageous people committed to building peaceful communities. It remains a thriving force in contemporary America. We will study this philosophy and its religious roots in the thought and lives of Jesus, Martin Luther King, Jr., and M. K. Gandhi. We will also study, meet, and interact with current nonviolent public servants around the country who pursue nonviolent projects in public schools, prisons and disadvantaged neighborhoods and who have contributed powerfully to building movements for social and environmental justice. We will learn and practice employing nonviolent techniques and skills including restorative justice, nonviolent communication, conflict management, and conflict de-escalation and study the principles and skills of nonviolence as they have come to us from Dr. King's co-workers and successors, with whom we will also interact. |
