INTD 3003

This course focuses on practical and conceptual tools for effective activism and advocacy related to international development. Much of the injustice in the world calls for social, political, policy and legal change – in Canada and globally – which in turn requires effective activism and advocacy. By the end of this course, students will be able to understand and practice different approaches to activism, public policy advocacy and public engagement; relate critical historical analysis of activist strategy to contemporary political struggles; design and implement a campaign for public policy change as part of a team; engage public audiences with ideas related to activism.
