This MA program aims at being very interdisciplinary and so our classes range from socio-psychological approaches to history of the Middle East all the way to Buddhism and mindfulness. Just to make it that much more interdisciplinary, they gave us an interdisciplinary seminar in which we organize the speakers. We can choose speakers from any field or perspective we want to hear from.
We've heard from a woman who worked with an NGO in South Sudan for the past 6 years, we've heard from a US diplomat, this week I think we're going to hear from an international business man.
Of course, sometimes, a speaker has to cancel at the very last minute so we end up watching an Israeli film about an aspect of the Israel-Lebanon war in '82. Where else could we watch such a film but in the "poofim" room (Hebrew for the bean bag room, Bean Bag Blessings).
The interdisciplinary seminar definitely qualifies as the most laid-back class that I'm taking this semester.
