- Behind Closed Doors: Understanding the Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice Systems In Person
-
Maximum Enrollment: 40
Child welfare and juvenile justice is cloaked in confidentiality. There’s some good reasons for that but it also means few people understand what goes on behind those closed doors. This class will cover a range of topics. From the child welfare side, how families become involved with the agency, foster care, and adoption. From the juvenile justice side class participants will learn how the state system operates and what to expect if some child you know becomes involved with the system. The class concludes with a “call to action” on how you can help by becoming a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for children.

- What is Liberalism?
-
THIS CLASS IS FULL. Please click the "Add to Waitlist" button below.
People have such strong and polarized opinions about Liberalism. But what, exactly, is it? The historian David Brinkley has observed, "Liberalism has never been a uniform or stable creed." Liberalism has meant different, and often contradictory, things to different people at different times. This course traces Liberalism's historical evolution from the Enlightenment to the present day. It looks at the political, economic, cultural and international aspects of the intellectual tradition of Liberalism. It concludes by considering the present and future prospects of Liberalism.
