INTD 240 – HONORING OUR LGBTQIA ELDERS
Unit(s): 4
This community-engaged learning course gives students the opportunity to meet and interact with transgender, lesbian, gay, intersex and queer identified senior adults (65+ and older); reflect upon the intersections of ageism and LGBTQ prejudice and discrimination using texts from Jewish ethical thought along with feminist theology, ethics, and writings on intersectionality; and respond to real-world issues through a combination of work, study, reflection, and conversation with organizations committed to furthering social justice in these under-served populations.
