INQ-277 | Making Fear Your Friend

Topic Description:

Fear is a construct that is inextricably linked to our biology, psychology, history, and cultural context. When we think of fear, we often imagine terrible things, but what if that didn’t have to be the case? What if instead of paralyzing or harming us, fear was actually a friend meant to instruct us, guide us, and help us grow? In this course, students will gain a deeper understanding of the biological, psychological, and cultural underpinnings of fear. Students will be asked to step outside of their comfort zone and learn to befriend their fear through experiential exercises, field trips, and assignments.
