War and Anti-War

Week 4 | M, Tu, W, Th | Smith Library Classroom | Ages 18 and up

The course is designed around readings and discussion. We will read short works or excerpts of fiction and non-fiction by such writers as Tim O'Brien, Chris Hedges, and Philip Caputo. The readings will lean toward "anti-war" literature to guide our discussion around the overarching question: when, if ever, is war morally justifiable?
