War, terrorism, and natural disasters create inhuman life conditions. Yet we know that people do survive these conditions and may even go on to flourish. This course asks: What is the human response to problems of global proportions? How do people cope in a hostile, unpredictable world that may lack the basic necessities for life? We will examine the scientific literature and personal accounts to understand how people stay sane in the face of unbearable circumstances. Enrollment Limit: 14
