COMJ 460 - Community Organizing and Civic Professionalism


Credits: 4
A study of the history and practices of community organizing as a methodology of social change and civic engagement. Through a seminar format, we trace key moments in a select group of movements for change and, through those cases, identify skills, values, and methods that are central to community organizing as a social and community practice. Students develop skills that are grounded in theory and history and that can be deployed in concrete social situations.

Prerequisite: COMJ 160 .

Distribution Requirements: CL.
