Below are a wide range of resources for teaching social action. If you have specific questions about the model or Institutes, please contact Dr. Scott Myers-Lipton at smlipton@sjsu.edu.
Our Model Course
The social action course model is based on the syllabus by Dr. Scott Myers-Lipton, who refined it over 17 years of teaching Sociology 164: Social Action at SJSU.
Our Guides
Scott Myers-Lipton’s two books, companion guide, and course reader are core resources for faculty and students.
Our Coaches
We have “coaches” for the faculty who have completed an Institute and want to have someone to help them in the creation of their syllabus, and/or to have a “go to person” to ask questions when teaching social action.
