PSYC 930 - Building Resilience in the Face of Climate Change Through Effective Conflict Resolution FC SSCI WADV
4 credits
Climate change will create more frequent and intense natural disasters, resource shortages, and refugee migration; this will stress social systems and increase social conflict. Effective peacebuilding and conflict resolution strategies will be essential for creating social systems resilient enough to navigate these challenges. Drawing from the fields of social, cognitive, and political psychology, this course explores the psychological processes that lead to, exacerbate, and ameliorate conflict. It will also explore methods of de-escalating conflict. Students will explore these concepts in the context of a climate-driven UK-based conflict of their choosing.
The course will count as a 400-level Seminar for the Psychology major. PSYC118/POLT119 or PSYC 218 encouraged. WADV. Field trips required.

RELG 100 - Introduction to Jewish Studies: Sacred Spaces and Promised Lands FC ARHU CD
4 credits
This course is an introduction to Jews, Judaism, and Jewish culture, focusing on the question of where? By centering the spaces and places that Jews have constructed and inhabited - from synagogues to coffeehouses, from Jerusalem to Ohio - we will foreground questions of power, adaptation, and difference, within Jewish communities and in Jews’ interactions with their varied neighbors across history. Through the examination of diverse primary and secondary sources, we will see how “sacredness,” “promisedness,” and “Jewishness” are all complicated and contested.
This course is cross-listed with JWST 100
This course is appropriate for new students.

Religion and violence have often intersected, though often not in simple or straightforward ways. This course will examine categories and interconnections of religion and violence to provide a critical framework for investigating perpetuations of, sufferings of, and resistances to violence in various religious traditions. Examinations of these traditions in concrete historical circumstances will clarify, stretch, and challenge the theoretical and philosophical approaches. Though particular attention will be devoted to Christianity, examples will also be drawn from Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and New Religious Movements.
