Foundations for Community Engagement (SOCI 2F60)
3 credits
Undergraduate |
Foundations for Community Engagement combines community involvement with academic study of local issues and citizen responses. Through bi-weekly lectures, readings, seminars and scholarly reflection, students explore critical perspectives on volunteering, civic participation and activism. These themes are brought to life by a series of out-of-classroom learning opportunities that take place throughout the academic year in the interval between lectures. Depending on students’ interests, their community engagement may include volunteer work, arts events, historical tours, cultural festivals, public lectures, and more. All students will be supported to take part in some form of activism, consistent with their convictions. |
