SOC 145 - (BH) Building Strong Communities: Organizing in Diverse SettingsSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course will explore the meaning of “community” and how people work together to solve collective problems. We will examine how local organizing, advocacy, service provision, and economic revitalization can contribute to community development, empowerment, and efficacy among residents. While the course will focus on local and regional initiatives, we will consider how the local interacts with social movements and policymaking at the state and national scales. We will also examine how networks created through migration and technologies like social media are reshaping our understandings of community itself.
