Course Description

This course cultivates students’ ability to engage in social and theological analysis and critique, particularly about social structures, ideologies, and embodied practices that lead to domination or oppression. The course helps students think critically about their own social locations, their power and privilege, and what effect these have on their professional and vocational contexts (as pastors, ministers, educators, and religious and non-profit community leaders). The course takes the perspective that this sort of analysis is crucial to serving effectively in today’s complex social environment. It encourages students to deepen their commitment to dismantling privilege and oppression at individual, institutional, and societal levels. It seeks to help students move within their varied levels of awareness about matters of power and difference to action.
