Confronting Homelessness: Local to Global

Catalog description

Who are homeless people in the United States and beyond? Why are they homeless? What is being done to address the issues of homelessness? This course addresses these questions from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. As an "engaged learning" course, students will also learn by assisting at various agencies. The student will be able to discuss framings of the causes of homelessness and evaluate different policy approaches for addressing it while contributing work to a local agency.
