CIVL 230: Bridging the Gap 鈥� Skills for Intercultural Dialogue

Dr. Jacob Ari Labendz (jlabendz@ramapo.edu)
Includes two day trips at no expense.

 

The course turns on a paradox. Despite the fact鈥攐r, perhaps, because of the fact鈥攖hat global, national, and even local society is more interconnected than ever, we are also deeply polarized. All too often we find ourselves unable to communicate meaningfully and effectively across divides of identity, belief, and geography. It may even be difficult to define what meaningful and effective communication might look like and how to set our goals. This is a hands-on, skill-building course. Students will seek to understand how and why to improve as empathetic and curious聽communicators by practicing various methodologies and subjecting their experiences to analyses based in scholarly discussion.

Beyond the Classroom: CHGS Student Journeys

Our students fill us with tremendous pride. We want you to share in that with us, and so will present a series of interviews, conducted by CHGS interns, with 果冻传媒 students who have taken special initiative in the fields of Holocaust and Genocide Studies, as well as human rights.
