FALL SERIES 2018

REHUMANIZING AND RESTORING RELATIONSHIPS

Research reveals that when we dehumanize particular groups of people, we tend to support discriminatory policies against them and perpetuate injustice both within and outside our borders. This fall, Critical Connections and Karuna Center for Peacebuilding will organize the ‘Rehumanizing and Restoring Relationships’ series, to better understand what leads us to value certain communities over others, explore the social and political implications of treating some people as less "human," and discuss ways in which we can address historical injustices to repair and build community relations.
