Social Problems and Advocacy

Catalog description

In this course, students will assess social problems from multiple perspectives and advocate for societal change to resolve social problems at a local, national, and global level. Perspectives include systems, historical, and sociological perspectives to analyze the root causes of the problem, the institutions and issues that compound the problem, and different ways of viewing and addressing the problem.
