This class is not designed to make you creative. Odds are, you already are creative, and perhaps are looking for ways to express this creativity. What this class is designed to do is introduce you to the numerous ways in which folks have creatively sought to analyze and address pressing social issues of their and our times. In other words, you should be fully aware that we stand on a precipice of sorts, facing numerous social, political, and economic challenges. As long as there have been such issues, engaged people have utilized many different strategies and tactics for overcoming the social ills plaguing their societies. This class is meant to a) expose you to some of the ideas such socially active folks have produced and used, and b) empower you to make your own critiques. How can you think and act creatively to bring about the change you wish to see?
Please take some time to investigate the course modules online. Check out the syllabus in the "Files" section, where you should also find and access the syllabus.
