Motivation to Teach Social Action:
As a faculty member that teaches a social problems course that is experiential this would benefit my professional development in student learning outcomes in how social action is reflected in their learning needs.
Course Description:
This course studies how social problems come to be: students learn about what constitutes a social problem and who defines a social problem? Why do some social problems receive so much attention, while others are ignored? We will examine these questions drawing on case studies of contemporary issues, like inequality, racism, immigration, mass incarceration, health care, climate change, drugs, and more.
