Critical Communities, Critical Engagements

This course offers an examination of community engagement and a deep dive into three social justice issues in Providence, RI through readings, case studies, participatory activities, and guest speakers (faculty and community practitioners whose work exemplifies key issues explored in the course). The Winter Break Providence program component will provide context and knowledge for the course. Upon returning from Winter Break Providence, students will attend a series of seminar meetings in continuation of the course, and prepare for a final presentation of learning at the end of the spring semester.
