PROJECTS

Syllabus Project

One of the Institute's primary objectives is to encourage the interdisciplinary study of hate. As one means of accomplishing this goal, we are seeking to collect syllabi from faculty on courses they teach that are related to the study of hate. The collected syllabi will then be posted here on our web site as a resource for people who are thinking about teaching a similar class. The hope is that people can be inspired by what other people are doing and that they can see what kinds of books, papers, and projects are being used to inform their own practice. If you are interested in submitting your syllabus, please e-mail it to againsthate@gonzaga.edu. If you know someone who teaches a related class, please forward this web page to him or her and request that he or she submit their syllabus for posting.

All of the following syllabi are in Word format.
