JS 314 - Radical Love, Liberation, & Justice

What does it mean to radically love yourself, with compassion? How can we find radical freedom/liberation for ourselves? How might we radically love others, and create freedom and equity in the midst of suffering? This course explores mindfulness and engaged Buddhism, investigating the power of these practices for personal and social/collective liberation and transformation. We will examine impacts on justice/equity work, and students can explore connections to mental health, sports, business, education, health/medicine, environment, etc.
