Social and political contexts of human development impact the way community is forged. In community, social dynamics are influenced and created by varied contexts that affect individuals understanding of the world. For this course, students will examine theoretical frameworks that focus on exploring community as places of struggle, resilience, culture, equity, and change. This course will integrate theory into practical application within community spaces - i.e. classrooms, schools, grassroots organizations, non-profit agencies, neighborhoods, etc. in order to further develop strategies of social equity, cultural competency, and advocacy for education.
