Soc Entrepreneurship Hum Right

Catalog description

In this course, we will evaluate the distinctions between social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship, and activism and the differing impacts of social and traditional business entrepreneurship on human rights. We will analyze the differing attitudes and developmental characteristics of social and traditional business entrepreneurs and evaluate the components of highly successful human rights efforts. Students will develop both a theoretical and a phenomenological grasp of humans’ innate capacity to effectively address human rights in any setting and a tangible sense of how to access their own innate reservoir of agency, creativity, innovation, and resourcefulness. Students will identify the general human rights domain in which they are most interested and in which they are likely to generate the greatest impact on human rights and specify which social institutions, agencies, etc. at the local, state, national, and international levels (or lack thereof) through which they might generate the greatest impact on human rights.
