Middle East Conflict: Exile & Belonging This course focuses on the Middle East conflict in exploring issues and dynamics of exile and belonging in Israel and Palestine through the lens of religion. In exploring these issues and dynamics, we will examine alternative ideas and perceptions, particularly, contemplation of non- violence in this conflict. This will open up different ways to consider the religious problems of exile and belonging in regard to co-existence in Israel and Palestine. The course focuses on non- violence, one of the five critical concerns of the Sisters of Mercy: women, nonviolence, earth, anti- racism, and immigration. This course meets the University ' s definition of writing intensive. 3.00
