Course Description

Understanding ourselves as “persons-in-relationship” requires us to view others as constituted by the interrelationships to which they contribute and by which they are formed. This course explores the impact of persons from different genders, cultures, ethnic and social groupings coming together, and the implications of these dynamics on people and their relationships, including the therapeutic encounter. Developing research skills, it combines theological and theoretical reflection with a study of historical developments in New Zealand society, and an engagement with contemporary social issues that impact our sense of identity.
