This mini-course looks at the history and evolution of antisemitism and presents steps to help students stand up against this form of hatred and bigotry.
Students define power and then analyze five perspectives about power in order to understand its many sources and the different ways it can be experienced.
Students discuss the first half of Bethany Morrow’s short story “As You Were” and create character maps as a way of exploring the character of Ebony’s identity and sense of belonging in her school community.
Through continued reflection on the short story “As You Were,” students consider the factors that impact power and agency in moments of decision-making and explore the possibilities and limitations of justice and reconciliation.
