Motivation to Teach Social Action:
Especially in such a fraught time, I am eager to learn with and from others in order to improve my ability to facilitate learning and support action to challenge oppression. I'm also interested in building community with others who are facilitating learning and action for justice.
Course Description:
One of the course descriptions: This course strives to develop our abilities and deepen our commitment to act effectively with others to create the change we wish to see in the world. We will study and strategize how methods of direct and collective action have been and can be used to persuade and pressure targets; to demonstrate and exercise power; to foster engagement, solidarity and critical consciousness among one's constituency; and to build alternative social institutions.
