This is an in-person joint religion and service-learning class. The class will examine the foundations of ethics, current moral issues facing our Richmond community, and work in the community to learn from a hands-on service experience. Students will examine classical ethical frameworks such as the social contract, utilitarianism, and various concepts of justice. This class will explore parts of Richmond's racial and socioeconomic history to engage current social issues facing the city. The course will consist of service days on Fridays in the Richmond community. In-person classes will meet from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and on service days (usually Fridays), we will meet from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (to meet the 15-hour year service requirement). In years past, the Friday service days were along the James River, Housing Families First, and Belmont community resources. Our hope is to duplicate these again this year. This course satisfies the upper-level Religion graduation requirement and includes the 15-hour annual service requirement.
Classes meet at St. Catherine's School. Transportation provided to community service sites on Fridays.
