“Perspectives on Caring” will ask students to explore the concept of caring over the past, present and future, using theoretical, ethical, socio-political and interpersonal lenses. What does it mean to be caring? How is caring lived in the human experience? Engaging in discussions and reflections, students will learn to embody this concept and approach it in individual, interpersonal, professional and civic engagements. Students will build a portfolio based around the four lenses of caring, culminating in creating a personal philosophy of caring which will address how to put this philosophy into action.
