Social Change Across Sectors

Catalog description

Students in this class will learn about social change strategies that transform systems while completing their Tier-1 or Tier-2 service-learning requirement. We take a historical and contextual perspective of the field to assess changemaking strategies in service of more just and equitable societies. We will explore different change strategies that changemakers can use to tackle wicked problems in society, such as social innovation and social entrepreneurship, social advocacy and activism, and social service provision. Students will have the opportunity to explore social impact organizations in the private, public, and citizen sectors. We will also discuss various facets of environmental, financial, and social sustainability.
