This learning community has three components... each of them related to how art (this could be a visual, performing or literary) has dealt with Social Justice and Diversity in its particular discipline.
With instructors using a particular discipline ( or strength,) individua sections within this learning community can them explore through a film series, a trip to a museum(s), or trips to see performances, how "Social Justice" has been treated by that medium. In addition, the entire learning community will explore how the humanities are related to Social Justice and diversity using the idea of Liberal Education to help students "engage the world around them." Martha Nussbaum's "World Citizen" and "Classical Defense of Liberal Education" may be possible common readings. In addition, "Readings for Social Justice and Diversity' Currently used by the Second Life and Utopia Learning Community, may be appropriate.
