The course will provide objective overviews of a number of issues while also introducing students to a range of government, non-government and private organizations and individuals that are attempting to address these issues. Using contemporary perspectives of leadership and social influence, students will explore how and why such efforts may affect change at the individual, organizational, and societal levels.
