School of Public Policy 312 - MakingDifference:Social Change

This course explores promising approaches to some of the world?s most intractable issues and asks whether these approaches could or should be adopted (or adapted) elsewhere. It also explores strategies for bringing about these and other solutions to social issues. Many of the strategies that help create social change are also strategies that, when adapted for individuals, can help individuals become effective social change leaders. Therefore, we will often explore how the strategies work, both at the macro level and at the personal level. We will have several guest speakers, and students will work on their own projects, exploring the pros and cons of a policy that they find promising. (Gen. Ed. SB, DU)
