I do my best to ensure that all content is suitable for the age range of the class. It is important for students to approach all subjects with an open-mind. We will discuss practices and beliefs of various cultures -- some from history, and some that are still around today. Approaching these topics with curiosity, a desire to understand, and without judgement is essential.

Discussion that arises from certain sessions may address topics that are at the forefront of controversial public/media debate: climate change, science vs. religion, the use of genetically modified organisms, etc. A fact-based approach will be taken when these things come up, though the nature and tone of the discussion will always be respectful.

Open group discussion will be a major part of the course, whether through use of the microphone or the chat box tool! It is essential that students complete the required reading/watching/listening of the assigned topic BEFORE class each week, and come to class ready with some comments and questions to help direct the live meeting.

The minimum age listed for this course will be strictly enforced - if you have a student below this age, please message the teacher before enrolling.
