It is not enough to come to college to learn how to make a dollar... it's time to make a difference! These learning communities encourage students to not only see the world as it is, but to be the change they want to see in the world.

In this FLC we will work with local people at service-learning projects based in Albuquerque and will bring our experiences back to class for reflection, writing, and discussion. Class readings will include essays related to civic participation, happiness, ethics, ecology, community, identity, and political rhetoric. You will work in teams in service-related activities, and discuss your experiences in small groups. The class will produce a digital video project that helps others understand your projects, and will publish a book of essays. The service projects could include Habitat for Humanity, local cultural centers, hospice care, after-school child care, projects with the elderly, and conservation projects.

The idea that human beings are naturally aggressive, violent and war-like is considered self-evident, given the daily barrage of news about war, murder, and hatred that exists globally, nationally and even locally. But is violence really an inescapable part of our humanity? What sorts of data address the implications of any answer we might come up with? Can we study violence (or potential answers to it) in ways that help us to begin thinking systematically and analytically about the histories and cultures of violence and peace? Anthropology's multiple subfields and Peace Studies concepts of literal and structural violence provide the information that drives a wide variety of unique tools that we can use every day to effectively combat violence from the ‘inner-personal’ to the global level.
