This program develops the skills to read other people and see how others interpret their behaviors. It creates a deep seated appreciation for the needs of their co-workers. Ultimately, the program helps participants adapt their communication styles in a way that creates an enduring working alliance among team members and fosters a deeper sense of organizational engagement.

Introduction to the Qur'an
Evening at Emory - Humanities and Cultural Studies
As the sacred text of Islam, the Qur’an is among the most influential books in world history. It is recited by millions of Muslims in daily prayer; inscribed on monuments, decorative plaques, and jewelry; quoted in literary works and popular speech in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Malay, and Swahili -- it permeates Islamic culture. Yet many are surprised to discover that the text relates the stories of Adam, Jesus, Abraham and other Biblical figures rather than the Prophet Muhammad and that the hero of the Qur’an is not Muhammad, but rather, Moses. In this course we will investigate the form and content of this fascinating text in English translation, exploring the text’s profound connections with the Bible and focusing on the Qur’anic theory of prophecy, the portrayal of figures from Jewish and Christian traditions, and the pre-Islamic Arabian material in the Qur’an. Tuition includes textbook.

Madonna is studying the Kabbalah. The Shack is a runaway bestseller. Centuries after he died, everyone's reading Rumi.

Many people believe mysticism is the golden thread that unites all the world's religions. Others scoff at the idea. Come decide for yourself in this class as we explore major themes and writings from the world's great mystical traditions. Using Andrew Harvey's The Essential Mystics as our textbook, we'll examine the world's great wisdom traditions — Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, as well as pagan and philosophical forms of mysticism — acknowledging both the common ground and the distinctive qualities of each mystical path. Class is taught from an academic/nonsectarian perspective. Textbook: The Essential Mystics : Selections from the World's Great Wisdom Traditions

Faith and Doubt in Contemporary Southern Fiction
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute - Wednesday Morning
Both writers of literature and sociologists have long observed that for generations of Southerners, religion was a dominant and distinctive force. It was, for many years, the most traditional and lasting form of Southern community, and remains so today in the rural South. In this course we will look at short stories by a group of Southern authors living and writing today, selected for their focus on religious experience. We will observe its origins in slavery and Civil War defeat, the ways religion colors the lives of characters and the extent to which that tradition survives today. Stories by, and interviews of, such writers as Reynolds Price, Clyde Edgerton, Doris Betts and Lee Smith will figure in our discussion.

Increasingly companies and organizations are responding to intense rivalry, market share erosion, economic downturns and constant change by encouraging more innovation and risk taking by their people.

Although innovation through appropriate, applied risk taking behavior is essential for business growth and development, there are those who choose not to risk and change and therefore do not innovate. Why? Some people see risk as the potential to lose something. Some have had previous negative experiences with risk taking. And others work in an environment of conformance where risk sponsorship is low. This application-based workshop will give the participants insight into what risk is and the major factors influencing their own risk orientation.
