Philosophy of Community Change

3 credits · Undergraduate

How do we bring about change for the common good in a diverse and increasingly fragmented society? This question frustrates and animates professionals across public domains, in community development, health, planning, natural resources management, and social policy. In this course, students learn philosophies of the common good, how such philosophies interact with other forms of knowledge such as science, and how 'the good and the right’ are mobilized in public argument and decisions.
