Motivation to Teach Social Action:
I will be teaching a policy course in Spring 2026 and would like to incorporate experiencing learning focused on policy intervention. This course development program - emphasizing an experiential learning model for social change - fits very well with that goal.
Course Description:
This course provides a systematic analysis of a range of social welfare policies and programs and their impact on individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities. Through the use of analytical and experiential learning, emphasis is placed on developing policy practice skills to promote social, environmental and economic justice, equality, equity and human rights within the context of political, legislative and community processes.
