The spiritual needs of people with intellectual disability and families are often unaddressed by care providers, faith communities and even families. This course discusses how a range of spiritual care practices can enhance people's sense of well-being and community inclusion since some people find that spirituality is an important part of a good life.

With Dr. Jason Greig.

This course will examine emerging conceptual, methodological and empirical themes and topics in the continually and rapidly developing new social studies of childhood perspective. It will also facilitate the examination of the mutual contributions of related developments in other disciplines.

With Dr. Sam Frankel.

In a world in which we are encouraged to stand together by standing apart, the study of solitude and isolation has never been more relevant. This course takes a historical perspective on these issues, tracing the diverse cultural representations of solitary and isolated individuals from the seventeenth century to the present, from a psychological, philosophical, religious, sociological and political perspective.

With Dr. Coby Dowdell.

This course covers the skills and information used by business managers to become literate in the information technology environment without becoming an expert.
