Nonviolence in Theory and Practice

3 credits · Graduate School

Grounded by lived experience and ethnographies, this course explores the ethics, theology, history and practice of nonviolent movements. Using a case study approach, we examine the methods of nonviolent movements, the spiritual and psychological motivations for pursuing social justice through nonviolent means, and theories of change that undergird the practice. This course will include travel to greater Nashville community sites. [3] Ms. Sheppard
