Involvement at Hope College Course: Psychology of Peace & Gender

On Wednesday November 7, 2007, Sara, Norma, and Beth took part in a classroom discussion at Hope College. The name of the course taught by Jean Dickie is "Psycholgy of Peace and Gender". The goal of the exercise was to look at your values and where they came from and then to apply those values to leading a more peaceful life. The textbook in use was Working for Peace by MacNair. The quote for reflection on the board was:

"People are spurred into action not so much by knowing the right facts and numbers as by hearing stories and developing a worldview that makes sense of the confusion and contradiction in their lives."
