U Pennsylvania: Intercultural Dialogue and Perception (USA)

Applied ICDIntercultural Dialogue and Perception, course taught by Claudia Tordini, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

In VLST 2140: Intercultural Dialogue and Perception, an SNF Paideia designated course taught by Claudia Tordini at the University of Pennsylvania, students are asked to slow down, suspend immediate judgment, and step into something transformative: true dialogue mediated through visual art and experiential perception. This course is part of the SNF Paideia Program, integrating dialogue, community, intentionality, humility, and curiosity, and drawing from philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and art theory. Tordini poses a fundamental question: “How can we engage across deep cultural, personal, and perceptive divides?”
