Course Description

In this course, we will explore the intricate dynamics of societies, the social processes that influence them and the policies that shape them. We will delve into the importance of taking action to address societal issues, related to policy and politics.

By studying historical and contemporary examples, such as the Dawn Raids apology, climate change activism and approaches to managing crime, we will learn how individuals and communities can initiate positive change through activism, advocacy, and grassroots movements. 

Join us as we equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools to become informed citizens ready to contribute to a more just and equitable world!
