INTD 59 - Listen To Your Life
Unit(s): 2
Most of us spend a great deal of our waking hours at work. One of the important questions we often consider throughout our lives is how to find work that enriches us with a meaningful life. In the Ignatian tradition: finding our vocations means discovering our gifts, listening to our hearts for divine guidance, and reaching out to live with greater joy and meaning. This class will give you the opportunity to discern your vocation by the aid of career asessments and listening to guest speakers (mostly USF alums) who have found how to apply their gifts and talents to the world. Each class will provide time to reflect on the information presented by maintaining a journal and class discussion. When a keen sense of self is combined with knowledge of how you would like to apply your interests and talents, you will have arrived at a working definition of your personal vocation.

IME 644 - Whiteness, Power & Privilege
Unit(s): 3
This course explores racialization and racism through the lens of Critical Whiteness Studies. It is common when studying race and racism to do so primarily by examining the experiences and oppression of people of color. What is often missing from the discourse, however, is the examination of whiteness as the driving force behind those experiences and that oppression. The field of Whiteness Studies, which has grown rapidly over the last few decades, makes whiteness more visible within scholarship on race, racism and racial justice while focusing on the complex ways that white supremacy colludes with racism to create and maintain inequity in society. It also sheds light on white racial identity development and reveals the ways that racism and white supremacy ultimately renders all of us un-whole.
