MASTER CLASS
"Bind Us Together"
On August 21, former Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright was interviewed for an upcoming CNN special entitled God's Warriors. Among
other things, Albright said, "In order to effectively conduct foreign
policy today, you have to understand the role of God and religion....
Religion is instrumental in shaping ideas and policies. It's an
essential part of everyday life in a whole host of countries." In
effect, Albright was encouraging a better understanding of the diversity of
religious traditions that are present today all over the world. But
diversity goes well beyond religious traditions. It includes engaging
persons of various cultures, class locations, and countries of origin in
order to build and sustain relationships and communities in which
difference is not merely tolerated but valued. This master class will give
an overview of the ways in which we at Mount Holyoke actively explore and
engage all kinds of diversity in order to enhance the critical and moral
education of our students and to represent our collective commitment to
social justice.

G. Moore,
dean of religious and spiritual life
