UA Little Rock to Offer Religious Freedom Seminar Spring 2024
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock School of Public Affairs will be offering a new class for the spring 2024 semester.
Professor Rebecca Glazier will be teaching a Calderwood Seminar, an upper level course where students will produce public writing on the topic of religious freedom.
The Calderwood model was started at Wellesley College and focuses on preparing students to write for real-life situations. These seminars utilize active learning strategies and are centered around short writing assignments. Students will work in a collaborative environment to take turns writing and peer editing public-facing pieces. At the end of the semester, students will have a portfolio of public writing.
The tentative class plans include working with religious freedom non-governmental organizations, sharing student work through the Little Rock Congregations Study website, attending Ramadan Iftar at a local mosque, and possibly getting students on KUAR. Because of the small seminar nature of the course, space is limited, but there are a few spots remaining.
