Community Change in a Global Era

Catalog description

We live in a global world and in local communities. How do global processes influence what happens in our communities? How can we shape global processes, or intervene to create local outcomes that strengthen diverse communities, communities that are situated differently in relationship to established institutions and have different worldviews, priorities and interests? How can local action effect lasting change locally or globally? This course explores these questions through the intersections among global processes, community outcomes, and local, national and global action.
