Making A Difference/Doing Social Change


Spring 2015 quarter

Taught by

political economy, political science

Prerequisites

Students should have college-level writing skills. Please submit a previous paper when contacting the faculty.

Even a casual observation of society indicates that serious social change is necessary. The question is: what are the most effective ways to make a significant change that will be long lasting and sustainable?

In this program, students will study methods of social change in the classroom and participate in local, regional, national or international groups that are making a difference and have significant promise of continuing to do so in the future. Students will determine the area where they wish to work and come together to study theories of social change and test those theories in their work throughout the quarter. Our seminars will examine the readings for the week and also the work each of us is engaged in for the quarter.
