Motivation to Teach Social Action:
It aligns with the community work that I am involved in around social change and education.
Course Description:
This course focuses on the historical and theoretical frameworks of community organizing and grass-roots political activism. Additionally, this course seeks to provide students with the basic skills needed to more effectively engage in civic action. Drawing from social movement scholarship and social theory, this course teaches a transformative approach to organizing that embraces emergent strategies. Emphasis is placed on the construction of plans for action for addressing socio-economic issues related to community development.
