Information about teen sex trafficking for K-12 educators and students in grades 6-12. This collection of videos is designed to educate students about how to spot the signs of sex trafficking and avoid dangerous situations. The collection was produced as part of the Family Life Education curriculum, and also includes an overview video for parents that provides “look for’s” to help keep their kids out of trouble. The videos are not recommended for children under 12 without prior screening and approval by an adult.

The aim of this course is to enable participants to bring together materials from various disciplines bearing on our current environmental crisis, and from this integrated perspective to evaluate possible ways in which the crisis might be resolved. Disciplines to be consulted include ecology, thermodynamics, economics, value theory, and environmental history, among others. This project will rely on the integrative skills of philosophy to discern how materials from these disparate sources fit together.
