Living and Learning Across Difference

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

This course seeks to create space for students to have intentional and thoughtful conversations about how their social identities and backgrounds impact their day-to-day life in the Cornell community. Each week, we will focus on a topic of relevance to the student experience that also opens up questions about identity and power. Potential topics include mental health, cancel culture, social media, professionalization, and sustainability. As we move from topic to topic, participants will learn and practice skills for communicating empathetically, maintaining connection across conflict, making sense of personal experience in the contexts of broader structural inequities, and taking everyday action to challenge inequity.

When Offered Spring.
