Expanded Course Description
| Over the last several years, protest movements in the United States have reached a fever pitch, with Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ and Climate Change organizers leading the way. However, advocacy organizations have been active in the American landscape since the country’s founding. In fact, public policy has often changed through the action of citizen groups, nonprofit organizations, youth advocates and political leaders.
The guiding questions of this class are: How does policy change occur? How do people and organizations create changes to public policy? How can individuals “make a difference” in their communities?
This face-to-face class will include both written assignments, and an immersive simulation of one specific issue. In the simulation, students will learn about how to define and identify a social issue or problem, identify potential policy solutions, and develop recommendations for advocacy tactics.
This course is an elective course, which can satisfy the General Social Science and/or Difference, Inequality and Agency requirements at the University of Oregon. It brings together our understandings of the role of the public and nonprofit sectors in advocating for public policy and social change. |
