GERON 3005 - Diversity and Aging

Students will enhance their intellectual skills and develop a deeper sense of personal and social responsibility, through exploration of diversity in US society and culture; creative reflection on their own identities and relationships; cross-cultural awareness of equality, justice, progress, and freedom; and the study of ethical issues from proficient perspectives.
