Systemic and Individual Advocacy and Change

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

Human development is situated within historical and cultural contexts. This course will focus on the ways in which individuals, groups, organizations, and larger systems interact with each other to foster positive change, as well as ways these systems might create or maintain barriers to change. By understanding the historical and contextual factors surrounding individuals, groups, organizations, and larger systems, students will learn how to create targeted advocacy efforts to make the biggest impact at the individual, group, organizational, and/or systemic level.
