This class looks at social change through the lens of contemporary social issues as well as broader decision making processes that occur in democratic societies. Students will critically evaluate social movements concerning the environment, public health, organized labor and housing, among participatory decision making. Students will apply insights from this class by designing a project for change at an organization, school, community or government agency that includes a critical evaluation of strengths and weaknesses as well as a plan for assessing outcomes.
