Description: This course we will examine the ways in which young people have created social change on national and international topics, such as gun violence, climate change, civil rights, and women’s rights. Drawing on historical analyses, social science research, and fictional and non-fictional personal accounts, we will identify the strategies and tactics that young people have employed to make change and examine how the social context shaped the outcomes of their actions. My hope is that you will leave this course realizing how you can make a difference in your community, nation, and world.
