Course Description:

Many assume that systemic societal changes come from legislation and policy, but often social change starts with people organizing to generate their own power. This course examines social movements and social action through the lenses of historical sources and present iterations to learn how the people have been and continue to be changemakers for social causes, shifting conditions of human oppression to human liberation
