Additional Course Details: 

Do you want to make the change you want to see in the world?  Do you want to improve social justice and/or environmental sustainability?  Do you want to work inside or outside “the system” with better understanding of how the two are complementary?  Do you want to learn how to write successful grant proposals for causes you believe in?     

This course provides opportunities to link personal philosophies and professional action plans for social and/or environmental justice, bridging understandings of both social justice and environmental conservation.  It spans theoretical and practical perspectives by integrating seminar-style discussion with field experience.  Readings incorporate conceptual material, case studies, and applied activities.  Short written assignments include reading responses, field reports, and outlines and drafts designed to develop basic grantwriting skills.  Students will complete a simple grant proposal, thereby acquiring skills that are useful in a range of careers, especially in the non-profit and government sectors.  Direct contacts with professional change-makers will help students consider related career options.
