How we debate is just as important as what we debate. Hot topics give the illusion that we must be hot-headed. For instance, if we enter a disagreement with the intent to "win the fight," then the aggressive mood we bring influences the outcome of what we see as a zero-sum game. Does one person's win always need to be another person's loss? How might one person change the nature of a debate by framing it in non-dualistic ways? How can we transform competitive environments into professional, collegial settings? In this course, you will engage people from a wide range of identities and viewpoints and practice how to preserve the dignity of the person with whom you disagree.

Happiness is a multidisciplinary exploration of human flourishing. The course draws from the academic study of happiness as explored in the humanities, specifically psychology, philosophy, religious studies, cultural studies, history, and law. The course surveys empirical research in the sciences, such as positive psychology, neuroscience, and biology. The content mirrors how it is taught by drawing upon teaching methods used in resiliency education. Ultimately, the course is a study of how humans organize themselves, their internal lives, their relationships, and their environments—communally and globally.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 was born in response to the genocide of over six million Jews in Nazi Germany. And yet, its values were conceived hundreds of years prior by religious communities that, in their own geographic and cultural contexts, advocated for protections for human’s inalienable rights.

What are the legal foundations for religion and human rights? What is the relationship between religion in human rights and human rights in religion? How does the United Nations' secular approach differ from that of human-rights commitments made by Islamic nations? Although the methods and motivations vary, how might the human family forge alliances to pursue shared outcomes?

Freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) is widely recognized by scholars, policymakers and practitioners of human rights as the oldest of the universal human rights recognized under international law. Indeed, FoRB is frequently referred to as the “grandparent” of human rights and as “the first freedom” of international human rights. At the same time, the denial of the human right to freedom of religion or belief is a leading cause of repression, division and conflict across the globe. More than three-quarters of the world’s population lives in countries with high levels of government restrictions on religion. Studies show that government restrictions on religion correspond with increases in social hostilities and violence.
