This half-day course turns outward to explore our roles in community and society. Drawing on ideas from political philosophy and social ethics, participants consider different visions of justice, fairness, and collective well-being. Real-life issues—such as inequality or civic responsibility—bring theory into practice. A listening circle offers space to share personal experiences of justice and injustice with compassion and respect, cultivating empathy and insight.
